Antibiotic prophylaxis for total joint replacement surgery: results of a survey of Canadian orthopedic surgeons. Joint replacement surgery is the most common major elective surgical procedure performed in Australia and New Zealand, with approximately 119 620 joint replacements performed in Australia in 2020[1] and 22 229 in New Zealand.[2] Based on projected population growth, epidemiological models have estimated that the incidence of total knee arthroplasties and total hip arthroplasties due to osteoarthritis may increase by 276% and 208% respectively by 2030.[3] All arthroplasties performed in Australia and New Zealand are recorded in the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) and the New Zealand Orthopaedic Association (NZOA) Joint Registry respectively.
