Abstract
Vancomycin powder (VP) has been used to prevent periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, studies investigating the efficacy of VP to prevent infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are very rare. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of VP application to prevent PJI in TKA.Keywords
