The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a dilute betadine solution in reducing infectious complications in revision total knee arthroplasty. The investigators will enroll patients who are scheduled to undergo a revision total knee arthroplasty. Patients will be randomized into two groups. The treatment group will receive a dilute betadine lavage prior to surgical closure for 3 minutes followed by 2000ml of sterile saline irrigation and the control group will receive the 2000ml sterile saline lavage alone.
