Abstract:
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant cause of excess expenditure and increased morbidity and mortality when considered in the context of orthopaedic surgery, with patients often facing prolonged inpatient stays and multiple revision procedures to address this. SSIs, though not completely avoidable, can be mitigated through a variety of pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative strategies. This literature review aims to offer an oversight of established processes to reduce SSIs, as well as identify other measures with the potential to do this also.
