Primary outcomePrimary: Surgeon Attitudes About Using Intra-wound Antibiotics for Spine Surgery — 9; 36; 46 Participants
Summary
There is considerable interest in using in-wound antibiotics (IWA) to prevent infection after spine surgery. An adequate evaluation of IWA is lacking and prior studies are limited by confounding and bias. This prospective study will enroll spine surgeons across the country to complete a survey about their knowledge, attitudes, and practices for using in-wound antibiotics.
