Preoperative Decolonization and Surgical Site Infections in Orthopaedic Surgery - 2 Year Outcome in Prosthetic Surgery

Summary

Surgical site infections in orthopaedic surgery are a major problem. Decolonization has been suggested to reduce infection rates. The study was designed as a prospective, controlled, randomized, single-blinded trial to assess the influence of a decolonization procedure in S. aureus and non - S. aureus carriers. In this trial the 2 - year outcome in the subpopulation of prosthetic elective orthopaedic surgery will be evaluated.
