The management of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) poses significant challenges, requiring a multidisciplinary approach involving surgical, microbiological, and pharmacological expertise. Suppressive antibiotic therapy (SAT) has emerged as a viable option in cases where curative interventions are deemed unfeasible. This review provides an updated synthesis of recent evidence on SAT, including its indications, efficacy, practical considerations, and associated challenges. We aim to highlight the nuances of this therapeutic approach, discuss the factors influencing its success, and offer future directions for research to optimize patient outcomes.
