Aim

The purpose of this work is to study whether there is or not, in the case of an aseptic arthroplasty exchange, a relationship between positive cultures and an early periprosthetic joint infection.

Method

We carried out a retrospective review of our cases of aseptic exchange arthroplasties of hip, knee and shoulder performed between January 2007 and December 2015.

The follow-up period was, in average, from 1 to 9 years, and in all the cases perioperative cultures were evaluated.
