There are 41 knees and 32 hips. Thirty patients had sinus tract. With a mean follow-up of 63.79 ± 18.57 months, there were 9 failures in total with an overall success rate of 87.67%. The success rate was 88.57% and 86.84% for those receiving topical antibiotics infusion postoperatively and those without. DAIR with a standard MIT protocol is a viable and safe option for PJI occurring within 3 months since the primary total joint arthroplasty. Level 4, therapeutic study. Level 4, therapeutic study. Persistent wound drainage after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) increases the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs). Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) decreases infections in traumatic wounds, but evidence for its use after elective TJA is limited. The purpose of this meta-analysis of level I studies is to determine the effect of ciNPWT on risk of SSI and wound complications following TJA. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing ciNPWT vs standard dressings after total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Studies exclusively involving THA for femoral neck fractures were excluded. Risk of SSI and noninfectious wound complications (blisters, seroma, hematoma, persistent drainage, dehiscence, and wound edge necrosis) following TJA were analyzed. SSI risk was lower with ciNPWT compared to standard dressings (3.4% vs 7%; relative risk [RR] 0.48, P= .007), specifically in revision THA and TKA (4.1% vs 10.5%; RR 0.41, P= .03). ciNPWT increased the noninfectious complication risk after primary TKA (RR 4.71, P < .0001), especially causing wound blistering (RR 12.66, P < .0001). ciNPWT decreased hospital length of stay by 0.73 days (P= .04) and reoperation rate (RR 0.28, P= .01). ciNPWT decreases SSI risk compare
