Genetic Susceptibility to Periprosthetic Joint Infections of the Hip and Knee
Status: Enrolling_by_invitation
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Genetic
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
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.
