Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is an increasingly common challenge for arthroplasty surgeons. The survivorship of rTKA is significantly lower than that of primary total knee arthroplasty, resulting in an increasing incidence of repeat rTKA. These cases present multifactorial challenges including the skin and soft-tissue envelopes, bone loss, ligamentous compromise, and often a history of periprosthetic joint infection.

Background: In recent years, with the increase of antibiotic resistance, tigecycline has attracted much attention as a new broad-spectrum glycylcycline antibiotic. It is widely used in the treatment of complex skin and soft tissue infections, complex abdominal infections and hospital-acquired pneumonia by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Tigecycline can exhibit significant time-dependent bactericidal activity, and its efficacy is closely related to pharmacokinetics.
