| Core Tip |
Patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization have a high risk of contracting prosthetic joint infections, and MRSA screening and decolonization are essential to minimize the development of prosthetic joint infection. However, studies showed that re-screening following MRSA decolonization is important before planned prosthetic joint surgery to minimize infections. |
