  • Title: Control of post-operative infection in orthopaedic surgery. Clinical and bacteriological findings in 2555 elective operations.
    Author: Gallinaro M, Pizzo L, Marchi C, Dettoni A, Portigliatti-Barbos M.
    Journal: Ital J Orthop Traumatol; 1985 Dec; 11(4):455-65. PubMed ID: 3830966.
    Abstract:
    Post-operative infection is still a serious problem in orthopaedic surgery. Technological advances aimed at achieving aseptic conditions in the operating theatre, and the prophylactic use of antibiotics during operation have considerably reduced this complication during the last decade. Two indispensable factors in monitoring the effectiveness of these preventive measures are the determination of the incidence of post-operative infection and monitoring of the microbacterial population of the hospital.
