Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) due to their predisposition for bacteremia and subsequent implant inoculation secondary to dialysis. PJI risk is also elevated in transplant patients secondary to chronic immunosuppressive therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare medical and surgical complications after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with ESRD or renal transplant (RT).
