title: Strategies for the prevention of periprosthetic joint infection.
abstract: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating   complication which can follow a total joint arthroplasty (TJA).   Although rare, this ongoing threat undermines the success of TJA,   a historically reputable procedure. It has haunted the orthopedic   community for decades and several ongoing studies have provided   insights and new approaches to effectively battle this multilayered   problem.
