    Abstract:
    The catastrophic effects of deep sepsis as a complication of total joint replacement, especially the hip and the knee, are well documented. This review identifies risk factors predisposing to surgical wound infection. Proven, investigational, and theoretic methods of reducing nosocomial wound infection rates, particularly pertaining to orthopedic procedures, are given.
