Effectiveness of Gentamicin-Containing Collagen Sponges for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection After Hip Arthroplasty: A Multicenter Randomized Trial

摘要

Background. Surgical site infection (SSI) is a feared complication in hip arthroplasty, especially following femoral neck fracture in the elderly, associated with substantially increased morbidity, mortality, and costs. Gentamicin-containing collagen sponges are widely used for prevention of SSIs, but their effectiveness in joint replacement surgery remains unclear.
