Article Synopsis
- A total hip replacement is a popular surgical procedure, but its success has also led to an increase in femoral periprosthetic fractures, resulting in more revision surgeries.
- This study reviewed data from a UK hospital between 2018 and 2022, focusing on patient outcomes based on the type and timing of surgical interventions for femoral periprosthetic fractures, involving 88 patients.
- The results indicated no significant differences in 30-day and one-year mortality rates between patients who had revision surgery versus fixation, or those who received surgery within or after 36 hours of diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of medical planning and specialist care for better patient outcomes.
Background: Surgical site infections have an incidence as high as 10%. To reduce this, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends guidelines for surgical scrubbing.
Aims: We assessed adherence of surgical staff scrub practice before gowning to current WHO recommendations.
