Short summary
This study investigates sex-related differences in periprosthetic Joint Infections (PJIs) after total joint arthroplasty. A systematic review of nine studies reveals a higher risk of infectious complications in males compared to females, as indicated by statistically significant findings in half of the studies. This underscores the need for ongoing sex-related analysis to enhance evidence and insights in the field of PJIs.
