Non-cefazolin antibiotic prophylaxis is associated with increased rates of acute infectious, medical, and surgical complications following primary total shoulder arthroplasty: a database study
Compared to vancomycin and clindamycin monotherapy, cefazolin monotherapy was associated with a lower risk of developing acute postoperative periprosthetic joint infection. The results of this study support the use of cefazolin monotherapy as the current standard for patients undergoing primary total shoulder arthroplasty.
