Abstract

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a common procedure performed throughout the entire world in hopes of alleviating debilitating hip or knee pain. The projected number of TJAs performed in the United States alone is projected to exceed 1.9 million by 2030 and 5 million by 2040. With the significant increase in TJA performed, more periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are likely to be encountered. PJIs are a devastating complication of TJA. The economic and clinical burden must be understood and respected to minimize occurrence and allow optimal patient outcomes.

Keywords: PJI; Periprosthetic joint infection; Revision THA; Revision TKA; THA; TKA; Total hip arthroplasty; Total knee arthroplasty.
