Orthopedic Surgery
A deep puncture wound or serious bone fracture would provide a way for bacteria to penetrate your bone or surrounding tissue. Surgery to replace worn joints or repair broken bones would also have the same consequences. It would accidentally create a path for these germs to enter the body. The risk is especially high in implanted orthopedic hardware. It is important for surgeons to take preventive measures and follow strict guidelines to prevent this problem. [6]
