Objective: To characterize cases of Surgical Site Infections (SSI) in patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasties. Method: A cross-sectional, retrospective, and quantitative study conducted in a public, teaching, and high-complexity hospital in the southern region of Brazil. Data collection took place between 2020 and 2022 from records contained in 91 medical records and post-discharge forms within 90 days after surgery for prosthesis implantation. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and SSI incidence rate. Results: 49 (53.8%) knee arthroplasty records and 42 (46.2%) hip arthroplasty records were analyzed. Five cases developed infection, all detected at the post-arthroplasty knee outpatient visit, resulting in an SSI incidence rate in arthroplasties of 5.5% (n=5). Infections were characterized as deep incisional (40%; n=2), organ or cavity (40%; n=2), and superficial (20%; n=1), resulting in readmission in 80% of cases and a corresponding average hospitalization time of 11 days (SD=4.2). Conclusion: The significant rate of SSI in clean surgeries points to the need to intensify good surgical practices. Outpatient surveillance is emphasized as a strategy for building realistic indicators and providing support for prevention efforts.
