RECOMMENDATION: There is currently no evidence in the literature to determine if a patient with a colostomy is at an increased risk for SSI/PJIs following an arthroplasty procedure. However, it is our recommendation to ensure that the patient has a leak-free and clean colostomy in place to prevent soiling.
