Chirurgische Desinfektion vor Hüftendoprothetik

Dokumentation concerning surgical disinfection protocols relevant to total hip replacement (Hüftendoprothetik). The material was produced in 2016 by the MedienZentrum (Media Center) of the Universitätsklinikum Carl Gustav Carus, associated with the Technische Universität Dresden. The content focuses on the intraoperative preparatory procedures, specifically the sterile preparation and antisepsis required before implantation of an acetabular cup or femoral stem during hip arthroplasty. This process is critical for minimizing the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following elective joint replacement surgery.

The video provides a detailed overview of the standard operating procedure employed at the institution for achieving adequate surgical site skin disinfection prior to making the incision for hip endoprosthetics. It serves as educational material detailing the required techniques for pre-operative sterilization in orthopedic surgery settings.
