EFFECT OF LAMINAR FLOW ON DEEP INFECTION RATES FOLLOWING CEMENTED HIP HEMIARTHROPLASTY FOR INTRACAPSULAR HIP FRACTURES: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY
Laminar flow (LF) ventilation is widely used in orthopaedic theatres to reduce surgical site infection, yet evidence for its benefit in hip hemiarthroplasty remains limited. This study aimed to determine whether LF theatre use is associated with a reduced rate of deep infection within one year following cemented hip he...
