Clinical Practice Guideline
Published December 7, 2012
This clinical practice guideline addresses the prevention of orthopaedic implant infections in patients undergoing dental procedures.
Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) provide evidence-based recommendations for current orthopaedic diagnostic, treatment, and postoperative procedures. Multdisciplinary clinician work groups and AAOS staff work together to synthesize published research with the aim of providing a transparent and robust summary of the research findings for a particular orthopaedic disease topic.
