Advances in the control of perioperative sepsis in total joint replacement
Rheum Dis Clin North Am.
1988 Dec.
Abstract
Postoperative infection remains one of the most devastating complications of total joint arthroplasty. An improved understanding of the pathogenesis of prosthetic joint infection has led to a reduction in its incidence. Measures to prevent infection should begin in the planning stage of joint replacement and continue from the time of surgery for the duration of the implant.
