As the number of primary
hip and knee joint replacements are performed increases and postoperative care
moves to the outpatient setting, it is vital that protocols are implemented to
protect the surgeon’s work.
This video from 2 orthopaedic
surgeons will focus on postoperative incision management techniques aimed at
reducing surgical site complications. Best-practice strategies for protocol
implementation will be covered highlighting the human and economic impact of
reduced complications.
