Abstract

Surgical site infection (SSI) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are devastating complications following orthopedic surgery [1]. Hence, the prevention of these infections is of paramount importance. During the 2018 International Consensus Meeting (ICM), numerous proposals regarding the prevention of SSI/PJI were discussed. A large contingent comprising 869 delegates from 68 countries and different subspecialties (hip and knee, foot and ankle, oncology, pediatrics, shoulder and elbow, spine, sports, and trauma) worked to develop consensus on the most effective methods of prevention of SSI/PJI. The conclusions and recommendations of ICM 2018 will be discussed in this article.
