About
Bacteria is occasionally present in the shoulder during shoulder arthroplasty surgery and is hypothesized to increase the risk of failure of the prosthesis. Surgiphor (sterile Povidone-Iodine) wound irrigation, is a solution used in orthopaedic surgery and other surgical fields to kill bacteria intraoperatively. The Iodine dissociates from complex and has antimicrobial properties, causing cell death of bacteria, fungi, and viruses through interactions with proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids in the cytoplasm and cytoplasmic membrane.
This study examines the use of Povidone-Iodine during primary shoulder arthroplasty.
Full description
The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of reduction of positive cultures collected before and after wound irrigation with either Surgiphor or sterile normal saline during primary total shoulder arthroplasty
