• Abstract Over the last several decades, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has been increasing in incidence and is occurring in more complex patients. While there have been advances in both surgical and medical treatment strategies, there remain important gaps in our understanding. Here, we share our current approaches to the diagnosis and management of PJI, focusing on frequent clinical challenges and collaborative interdisciplinary care. The more detailed review including diagnosis, surgical considerations, and a detailed antimicrobial discussion is presented in the online version. This review describes the current state of care for periprosthetic joint infection, focusing on multidisciplinary collaboration, common diagnostic and management conundrums, and patient-focused decision making.
