A contemporaneous control cohort of 33 patients with isolated OA undergoing primary TKA (OA-only group) was selected using individualized 1:3 matching. Perioperative variables, Knee Society Score (KSS), and visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores were compared between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Over a 2-year postoperative follow-up, the infection control rate in the one-stage group was 90.9% (10\/11). One patient experienced recurrent postoperative infection, which was controlled after debridement and targeted antimicrobial therapy with implant retention. Postoperatively, KSS clinical and function scores improved significantly and VAS pain scores decreased significantly compared with preoperative values (all\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.001).
