Abstract
It is important to identify risk factors for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty in order to mitigate the substantial social and economic burden. The objective of this study is to evaluate early aseptic revision surgery as a potential risk factor for PJI following total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
