Preventing PJI (Prosthetic Joint Infections) after surgery.
PJI is a very common problem after Joint Replacement Surgeries. Prevention and 
protection of the part where surgery has taken place will help it heal faster and also 
protect if from further complications arising due to infections after surgery. Your knee 
specialist is the best person to consult for how to protect and a prevent from infections 
after surgery. In Indore region the the Doctor best known for such advice and also know

As per the experts of Knee and hip replacement surgeries there are four major things to be 
taken care post surgery to avoid infection. 
• Scan for staphylococcus. This will help in decolonizing the patient and lower the risk of 
infection. Staphylococcus is a bacteria that causes infections in the joints. 
• Smoking can also be detrimental to your whole body may turn out to be major factor for 
post operative infections. Nicotine, in any form, can be a deterrent to the healing 
process. Slow healing process can cause infections, so quitting smoking or use of 
nicotine can actually help the healing process and thereby lower the risk of infections.
• Sugar levels can be another major factor in increasing the risk of PJI. Those patients 
tested with higher than level 7 HbA1c are at a greater risk of having PJI. Every surgeon 
takes care that the sugar levels in your body is appropriate before any surgery. This can 
also hamper healing. 
• Healthy weight or proper BMI is anther factor which needs to be maintained for 
successful healing of majorly Joint Replacement Surgery patients. BMI above 40 
increases the risk of PJI and so an ideal BMI has to be maintained as suggested by the 
doctor.
Care should be taken and 
preventive measures adhered to 
both pre and post surgery, for a 
successful and fruitful Joint 
Replacement Surgery.
