Background The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting operative times and to
evaluate the associations of operative times with prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) and …

Risk stratification has proven to be a useful tool in surgical site infection prevention. The
duration of the surgical procedure has been recommended for use in surgical site infection …

Background Prolonged operative time may increase the risk of infection after total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). Both surgeon-related and patient-related factors can contribute to …

Purpose: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious complication following total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) leading to considerable morbidity. The incidence is reported to be up to …

Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one the most common elective procedures in
the world. Post-operative infection is one of its most devastating complications, often …

Background Whether prolonged operative time is an independent risk factor for subsequent
surgical site infection (SSI) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint …

Background The aim of this study was to assess which patient and procedure factors
affected both the risk of infection as well as procedure duration. Additionally, to assess if …

Background The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis
on the association between operative time and peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after …

Purpose To determine the incidence and to identify potential risk factors for in-hospital and
late infections, as well as for deep periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following TKA. Methods …

Higher PJI rates may be related to identifiable risk factors, which may or may not be
modifiable. Identifying risk factors preoperatively provides opportunities for modification and …
