Journal Title: Issues of Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Neurophysiology and Sport Promotion-IRONS - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 14
Abstract
SUMMARy A surgical site infection in shoulder and elbow surgery can be a devastating complication and should be prevented by all means. Several predisposing factors including preoperative preparation, technical equipment, surgical approach, dosing and timing of antibiotics and patient specific premorbidities should be acknowledged. We aimed to expose the incidence and predisposition for infections in shoulder and elbow surgery and strategies to prevent surgical site infections.
