Key Words Surgical skin prep; Orthopaedics; Iodine; Chlorhexidine; Infection
Core Tip Perioperative surgical skin preparation techniques were found to be equivalent between iodine and chlorhexidine-based solutions in multiple orthopaedic surgery settings. Perioperative surgical skin preparation still remains critical for infection prevention in orthopaedic surgery. Surgeons may use their preference and surgical expertise for choosing the appropriate surgical skin preparation solution, as the current literature does not support a superior skin preparation solution.
