Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of solutions (chlorhexidine gluconate-alcohol solution or povidone-iodine solution) that help eliminate harmful bacteria on the skin at the time of surgery. The main outcome of interest is: • the need for re-operation for a wound complication or an infection of the prosthetic joint within one year after surgery. Participants will be contacted at two time points after surgery to complete a 5-minute survey: after 30 days, and after 1 year. If you decide to participate, you will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) by a computer, to one of the possible interventions. You will be told which group you have been assigned to.
