Desired Outcomes: Understand the epidemiology of PJI. Identify patient populations that are at increased risk for developing PJI. Review the clinical presentations of PJI. Articulate the diagnostic criteria for PJI. Discuss the pathophysiology of PJI, including the role of biofilms. Understand the microbiologic causes of PJI, and how they affect treatment regimens. Review factors that impact decisions in the surgical approach to PJI. Recognize how clinical management choices help predict outcome of PJI treatment.
