RECOMMENDATION: While the optimal number of PJI cases a surgeon needs to perform annually to improve outcomes has not been established in the literature, some data suggests that surgeons that care for more PJI patients will have better results than lower volume arthroplasty surgeons. Further studies are needed to identify the minimum number of PJI cases a surgeon should perform to reduce complications and improve outcomes.
