Core Tip	This editorial emphasizes on evaluating the efficacy of weight-adjusted antimicrobial antibiotic prophylaxis regime on the incidence of surgical site infections and post-operative dosage reduction compared to conventionally used regime during total joint arthroplasty. The results demonstrated similar efficacy between both regimes with respect to the incidence of SSI. In addition, weight-adjustment led to reduced post-operative dosage and has the potential to reduce chances of achieving lower therapeutic concentration, drug resistance, drug toxicity and costs.
