Short summary
We compared prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and acute kidney injury (AKI) rates among cohorts before and after changing our hospital's antimicrobial prophylaxis from cefuroxime to teicoplanin plus gentamicin for primary total joint arthroplasty. Switching to teicoplanin and gentamicin was associated with a significant risk reduction for PJI of 75.2 %. Significantly higher AKI rates were seen in patients receiving teicoplanin plus gentamicin; however, these were mild (KDIGO stage 1).
