Infections at the incision site after surgery are a major risk after surgery. These can lead to further time spent in the hospital, additional surgeries, the temporary removal of prostheses, and additional rounds of antibiotics. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were compared for the number of surgical site infections (SSIs) they caused (TKA). The factors that raise the likelihood of SSIs were also evaluated. There is a wide range in the prevalence of SSIs, which are among the most common types of HAIs. Prophylactic antibiotic use during surgery, decreased frequency of repeat procedures, and improved sanitary conditions have all been implemented to reduce their occurrence. Yet, even in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) [1,2], SSI rates remain high. We conducted a retrospective case-control research at two institutions affiliated with tertiary hospitals to examine the temporal patterns of deep surgical site infections (SSIs) following six orthopedic s...
