Microbiological Sampling in Total Knee Arthroplasty After Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis: Rate of Periprosthetic Joint Infection and the Debate Around Sampling Unremarkable Tissue

Microbiological Sampling in Total Knee Arthroplasty After Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis: Rate of Periprosthetic Joint Infection and the Debate Around Sampling Unremarkable Tissue
