CHULUYAN, Juan Carlos et al. Recomendaciones para la prevención de infecciones asociadas a artoplastia electiva en adultos. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2017, vol.77, n.2, pp.143-157. ISSN 0025-7680.

Surgical site infections complicating orthopedic implant surgeries prolong hospital stay and increase risk of readmission, hospitalization costs and mortality. These recommendations are aimed at: (i) optimizing compliance and incorporating habits in all surgery phases by detecting risk factors for surgical site infections which are potentially correctable or modifiable; and (ii) optimizing preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis as well as intraoperative and postoperative care.
