Abstract

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a grave complication that can affect patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this study, we aim to determine whether hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a risk factor for PJIs. All patients (1184 males, 3435 females) undergoing primary TKA in Taiwan from 2001 to 2010 were recruited for analysis. The incidence of PJI was 523 among the males with HBV infection and 110 among the males without HBV (per 10,000 person-years, P 1 year after TKA (HR = 4.80, 95% CI = 1.57–14.7). HBV infection is a risk factor for PJI after TKA among males.
