Brief Summary:
Total hip arthroplasty THA and total knee arthroplasty TKA are procedures successfully applied to manage various end-stage chronic hip and knee diseases such as osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis and femoral head avascular necrosis as well as acute conditions such as the neck of femur fractures with excellent long-term functional outcomes One of the devastating complications after such a procedure is periprosthetic joint infection PJI Various precautions are proposed to guard against such complications one is the administration of perioperative antibiotics However injudicious or misuse of antibiotics could lead to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance further complicating this matter This is why various scientific and research organizations have proposed guidelines and a consensus for proper antibiotic use in perioperative THA and TKA surgery
Antibiotic prophylaxis during primary THA and TKA can reduce the risk of PJI and surgical site infections However there is a lack of consensus on the optimal dosages and duration of prophylaxis and guidelines vary among institutions Alternatives such as extended oral antibiotic prophylaxis and different antibiotic regimens are being explored International research is needed to establish best practices and determine the potential risks of antibiotic prophylaxis during primary THA and TKA Unfortunately the investigators are unaware of such guidelines proposed by any Egyptian health authority to guide and control the proper utilization of antibiotics during orthoapedic practice in general and joint replacement surgeries THA and TKA in particular

Detailed Description:
This study will be an Online-based questionnaire investigating surgeons perspectives on antibiotics utilization during primary total hip and knee arthroplasty surgeries and investigate their thoughts about the necessity for developing local guidelines
