Abstract

Prevention remains the best way to avoid the dire consequences of infection after total joint arthroplasty. Still, there is no isolated preventive measure that can fully eradicate prosthetic joint infection. Effective prophylaxis must rely on the combined action of numerous strategies in order to fight various different events that ultimately lead to clinically relevant infections. The operating theatre is the primordial moment along this process, but prevention of PJI must start before and continues well after.

Along this chapter, we will focus on current and relevant evidence and try to provide concise clinical practice- oriented information on various preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors regarding the prevention of prosthetic joint infection.
