Active rheumatoid arthritis in a mouse model is not an independent risk factor for periprosthetic joint infection.

<h4>Introduction</h4>Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) represents a devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Literature suggests a possible higher incidence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients with rheuma...
