Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection at Centers of Excellence Decreases Risk of Complications and Improves Discharge Dispositions Despite Further Travel Distance

The Journal of Arthroplasty
Total Joint Arthroplasty (TJA) is a widely performed and effective procedure for the treatment of degenerative joint disease (DJD). Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is now recognized as the leading cause of TJA failure, so recent efforts have emphasized the creation of Centers of Excellence (COEs) for the management of this morbid condition.
