The impact of supplemental intraoperative air decontamination on the outcome of total joint arthroplasty: A pilot analysis
Journal of Arthroplasty Jan 04, 2019
Cook TM, et al. - Authors analyzed 496 cases between January 2016 and August 2017 to determine the influence of supplemental intraoperative air decontamination on the consequences of total joint arthroplasty. They observed no significant differences regarding age, body mass index, diabetes diagnosis, smoking status, length of surgery, or revision status. They noticed a decline in overall risk for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) when intraoperative supplemental air decontamination was used in the turbulent air group, and no infection was noted in the cohorts operated under UV-C air decontamination.
