Abstract
Our study identified the risk of developing a subsequent PJI to be one half of previous studies. Bacteremia at the time of PJI is an important factor for developing subsequent PJI. Multiple prosthetic joints may be less hazardous than previously thought for patients with PJI suggesting that suppressive antibiotics may only be necessary in cases with bacteremia.
