for the prevention of surgical site
An extensive review of the spinal and arthroplasty
literature was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of local
antibiotic irrigation during surgery. The efficacy of antibiotic
irrigation for the prevention of acute post-operative infection
after total joint arthroplasty was evaluated retrospectively in
2293 arthroplasties (1990 patients) between January 2004 and December
2013. The mean follow-up was 73 months (20 to 139). One surgeon
performed all the procedures with minimal post-operative
