Abstract

Post-operative infection following total joint arthroplasty is becoming increasingly more prevalent across the nation and can result in grave consequences for patients. In order to limit the incidence rate, surgeons have recently opted to use antibiotic loaded bone cement (ALBC) over plain bone cement (PBC) due to its theoretical potential to lower infection rates. However, the cost-effectiveness of this intervention still remains under scrutiny.
