DO DIFFERENT WOUND DRESSINGS AFTER TOTAL JOINT ARTHROPLASTY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?Do Different Wound Dressings After Total Joint Arthroplasty Make A Difference?
Journal Title: Orthopaedics and Surgical Sports Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has excellent outcomes in the majority of patients. However, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains one of the most frequent and devastating complications. To minimize this risk, orthopaedic surgeons have implemented a host of prophylactic modalities including high flow ventilation systems, perioperative antibiotics, and intraoperative antiseptic agents, all with varying degrees of success.[1] Acute infections occurring within three months of surgery are of particular concern as these infections are believed to be acquired during the index procedure and may therefore be preventable.[2] In an effort to better address these early infections, orthopaedic surgeons have investigated the role of different types of wound dressing in the setting of TJA
