A 63-year-old patient with a previous right TKA 4 years ago presents with worsening pain in the right knee. The patient reports that pain is worsened when starting physical activity, but is also present at night. Two weeks prior to presentation the patient was given a 1-week course of oral antibiotics for cellulitis affecting the right knee. Serum labs were significant for a CRP of 11 mg/L and an ESR of 35 mm/hr. Synovial fluid analysis revealed 1,000/µL nucleated cells with 85% PMNs and no evidence of crystals. Synovial cultures were negative for any bacterial or fungal growth. Synovial alpha-defensin is positive. Figures A and B are the AP and lateral radiographs of the right knee. The patient opts to undergo a revision total knee arthroplasty. What is the best management at this point?
