A.What is the affected side involved in this event? left or right? this is a right knee.B.Was the infection cleared, when the kiwi spacer (attune cr femur and insert) was removed? the assumption, would be that the infection was not completely cleared.As if it would be very unlikely, to reoccur (but not impossible).At the time, the view would have been, that the infection had been cleared.Otherwise, the surgeon would probably have washed it out again.And reinserted/staged the next procedure.
