Official title
Do Wound Protectors Reduce Contamination in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty? A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Prosthetic joint infection is a devastating complication of shoulder arthroplasty. A relatively novel method of preventing PJI has been with the use of a wound protection device. There is minimal investigative research on the use of a wound protector in shoulder arthroplasty, specifically with an ability to decrease wound contamination. The investigators primary purpose of the proposed study is to determine if the use of a wound protector deceases the deep wound colonization of bacteria in primary shoulder arthroplasty. A secondary purpose is to evaluate if the wound protector decreases soft tissue trauma during total shoulder arthroplasty.
