| Popis: | The number of primary total hip and knee replacement surgeries is increasing primarily due to an aging population. There is also a concomitant increase in the number of complications which could be attributed to high variation in arthroplasty techniques, peri-operative methods and the absence of integrated clinical pathways (ICP) to mitigate risks such as surgical site infections (SSIs). The implementation of ICPs incorporating watertight, multi-layer closure could increase the preventative effectiveness against joint prosthetic adverse events. The objective of this review is to describe the ICPs implemented by one US facility to help address ten adverse events synergistically. |
