Sumario:INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Although a significant number of periprosthetic joint infection cases and well-proven algorithm of its cure are available, there still is a potential to make a more justified decision and thus improve treatment result. CASE PRESENTATION: This paper presents a case report of late simultaneous Prosthetic Joint Infection of both knees. Clinical discussion dedicates to the possible contribution of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in treatment of Prosthetic Joint Infection. CONCLUSION: We conceive the role of NPWT in the treatment of PJI to be underestimated to date and should be assessed in controlled trial.
