RECOMMENDATION: Two-stage exchange arthroplasty should be considered for patients with chronic elbow PJI. There are no clear indications for one-stage exchange arthroplasty for infected total elbow arthroplasty (TEA), but two-stage exchange is preferred in patients with sinus tract and/or compromised soft tissues around the elbow or those with systemic sepsis.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Consensus
