Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication that can occur after shoulder arthroplasty. Infection may occur in the wound or deep around the prosthesis. Any infection in your body can spread to your shoulder replacement. When an infection is suspected, early diagnosis and proper treatment is important. Contact your surgeon if you experience any symptoms of an infection, including increased pain or stiffness in a previously well-functioning joint, warmth and redness around the wound, or wound drainage.
