Genetic Susceptibility to Periprosthetic Joint Infections

Enrolling by invitation

Conditions studied: Total Joint Arthroplasty, Periprosthetic Joint Infections

In brief

The investigators primary objective is to identify genetic factors that may increase the risk of patients developing a periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The investigators hope that by identifying genetic predispositions we will be able to provide patient specific care pathways to prevent or minimize the risk for PJI.
