Abstract

Infections of total joint arthroplasties is one of the most debilitating situation for the patients that have received an artificial joint replacement. The infection rate of total joint arthroplasty varies between different reports (0.3% [19], 1.0–1.7% [3, 13, 26], 3% [16], 7% [17]. However, with today’s modern surgical techniques, antibiotic prophylaxis and clean air surgical suits, the infection rate should not exceed 2% [24].
