Abstract: Since the introduction of superior surgical techniques for lower limb arthroplasty including total knee replacement (TKR) and total hip replacement (THR) surgeries, many patients have benefitted from the advanced surgical techniques of Prosthetic Joint Replacement. However, with the increase in number of surgeries performed there is an increasing risk of arthroplasty revision [1] due to Peri-Prosthesis Joint Infection (PJI) and surgical site infection (SSI). SSI are one of the most common causes of nosocomial infection and complicate up to 10% operations [2].
