22 PubMed articles in English were identified
using the key words: ‘risk factors’, ‘infection’, and
‘primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA)’. The 10
most relevant articles were reviewed. In one study,
obesity and diabetes were considered risk factors
for infection following TKA. In another study,
postoperative infection correlated with a history of
open reduction and internal fixation, male gender,
remnants of previous internal fixation material,
and body mass index. In yet another study, the risk
factors were (in decreasing order of significance):
congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease,
preoperative anaemia, diabetes, depression, renal
disease, pulmonary circulation disorders, obesity,
rheumatologic disease, psychoses, metastatic tumour,
peripheral vascular disease, and valvular disease
