Aim

To describe the risk factors, microbiology and treatment outcome polymicrobial prosthetic joint infections (PJI) compared to monomicrobial PJI.

Methods

Age, sex, previous conditions, Charlson comorbidity score, previous surgery, PJI diagnosis and surgical and antibiotic treatment, from the index surgery onwards were reviewed and compared between groups.
