Primary outcome measure was the evaluation of concentrations in serum and periprosthetic tissues of antibiotic agents used as empirical therapy during reimplantation of the infected prosthesis
Time frame: 1 day
Secondary outcome will analyze the ratio of antibiotic concentration in serum and prosthetic tissues to minimum inhibitory concentration of the concerned antibiotic for the pathogen(s) identified in intraoperative samples
Time frame: 1 day
