The article covers the use of implants in foot and ankle surgery, with an emphasis on balancing effective outcomes and sustainability. The article critically analyzes the cost-effectiveness and necessity of laminar airflow in every case. It questions whether this infection prevention system is always needed, given its expense, and whether there are scenarios where it might not offer significant benefits. There’s a focus on using reusable drapes and patient setup devices to reduce waste in the operating room, aligning with more sustainable practices. The article explores eco-friendly alternatives for post-op immobilization and casting, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of traditional materials. |
