No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Prolonged wound drainage following total joint replacement surgery has been shown to be a predictor of postoperative infection. Several factors have been associated with delayed wound healing and increased risk of infection. Namely hypertension, obesity, diabetes, smoking and autoimmune disease have been shown to have a detrimental effect on wound healing. The purpose of this study is to verify those findings and determine additional pharmacological, surgical and patient related factors that may result in prolonged wound drainage, prolonged hospital stay and increased risk of infection
