Abstrakt: The influence of local antibiotic therapy in orthopedic surgery remains unclear. In this trial, we evaluated the incidence of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI), after local or intravenous (IV) antibiotic prophylaxis. The aim of this intervention was to compare the PJI incidence in a population with non-modifiable risk factors after local prophylaxis with vancomycin-loaded calcium sulfate beads versus a control group.
