Summary
Surgical site infections in orthopaedic surgery are a major problem. Decolonization has been
suggested to reduce infection rates. The study was designed as a prospective, controlled,
randomized, single-blinded trial to assess the influence of a decolonization procedure in S.
aureus and non - S. aureus carriers. In this trial the 2 - year outcome in the subpopulation
of prosthetic elective orthopaedic surgery will be evaluated.
