Abstract. Several fields of orthopedics have concluded benefits
from volume thresholds. We postulate that we could similarly optimize periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment by creating a
regional referral center, concentrating expertise and resources. Here, we
review our reasoning and our first-year experience of a PJI referral center
in the United States.
