Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication that can occur following total joint arthroplasty (TJA), causing significant morbidity and often requiring revision surgery. This goal of this manuscript is to review the current evidence for the prevention and diagnosis of PJI in patients with inflammatory arthritis.Keywords
