Results: The results of the survey (n = 138) show in clinical practice of Spanish orthopedic surgeons a high adherence to most of the international recommendations. Conclusions: The integration high adherence of individual clinical practice with the best available scientific evidence based on the recommendations of international guidelines is the best way to adequately manage the prevention of periprosthetic infection in elective surgery.
