Short summary
A health-economic study estimating the cost of septic re-revision surgery for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) across 30 European countries. Using 2023 Eurostat data plus a 13-country reimbursement survey, the study estimates 22 794 PJIs and 8629 septic re-revisions in 2023, costing ~€123.6 million (95% CI €102–156 million). Two-stage exchanges drive 82.8% of costs. Cutting PJI incidence by 25% could save €27.9 million/year; shifting half of two-stage cases to one-stage a further €22.6 million.
