Our study demonstrates that early DAIR within 2 weeks of onset of infection using a standard protocol during surgery and postoperatively can result in good outcomes. Patient comorbidities, culture status (positive versus negative), Gram staining characteristics of organisms and the identity of pathogenic bacteria did not influence outcomes of DAIR for acute PJI.
