The revision reported was likely the result of infection.Any ¿surgical site¿ infection noted in a patient that is greater than 3 months postop from a total joint surgical procedure is highly unlikely to be related to the surgical procedure for placement of the total joint or the device itself [1].The reported infection occurred greater than 6 months after the index surgery.Therefore, neither the dhr nor the sterilization records were reviewed.1.Acute infection in total knee arthroplasty: diagnosis and treatmentjuan carlos martínez- pastor,* francisco maculé-beneyto, and santiago suso-vergaraauthor information article notes copyright and license information disclaimeropen orthop j.2013; 7: 197¿204.Published online 2013 jun 14.Superficial or deep infection are listed in the general surgical risks section of the equinoxe shoulder system ifu 700-096-060 rev.M.
