Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • bacterial count (CFU/cm2)

    The percentage of inoculum reduction at the irrigation step was calculated as follows: percentage of inoculum reduction = 100 e (1003 Ii)/Is, where Ii is the bacterial count (CFU/cm2) at the irrigation step and Is is the inoculum (CFU/cm2) at the surgery step. Bacteria were identified using standard laboratory methods. The limit of detection in the nailfold test was 1.33 CFU/cm2.

    Participants will be followed until the surgery to heal completely,an expected average of 7 weeks

Study Arms (1)
