Twenty-four Hours of Perioperative Oral Antibiotics Results in Low Rate of Prosthetic Joint Infection Following Outpatient Arthroplasty Procedures

Twenty-four hours of perioperative oral antibiotics following outpatient TKA, THA, unicompartmental, and patellofemoral procedures is associated with low PJI rates. Larger, randomized prospective studies are needed to refine antibiotic protocols for outpatient arthroplasty.
