Closed Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Post-surgical Wound Care of Patients With Periprosthetic Joint Infection

Overview

In the proposed study, we will apply Prevena on the surgical wound right after closure of the wound in the operating theater. Prevena will be used for 7 days, unless there is ongoing infection or much wound drainage that requires debridement. Most periprosthetic joint infections are from hematogenous origin. Hence, it is considered clean wound unless there is a discharging sinus.
