Popis: We surveyed US orthopedic infectious disease (Ortho ID) specialists and surgeons (n=54 clinicians from at least 17 institutions). Three-quarters had a dedicated clinic or inpatient service; orthopedic device-related infections were most commonly seen. All respondents highly valued Ortho ID teams for improving multidisciplinary communication, trust, access to care, and outcomes.
