Introduction. Vancomycin is a commonly used antibiotic for prophylaxis in total joint replacement surgery. Several studies have reported superior local tissue concentration of vancomycin using intraosseous (IO) infusion compared with standard intravenous (IV) administration in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We reviewed patients undergoing primary TKA who received IO vancomycin to a group receiving IV vancomycin. Methods. A retrospective review of 1038 patient who underwent primary TKA at our institution was performed from May 1, 2016 to May 1, 2019. This was a consecutive series of patients before and after we adopted this technique. IO vancomycin administration technique has been previously reported from our institution (500mg vancomycin in 200mL solution). Comparisons included preoperative and postoperative creatinine values, adverse reaction to vancomycin, tourniquet time, re-operation rates,
