Preventing surgical issues with a doctor-nurse team
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new team approach—where doctors and nurses work closely together in the operating room—can help prevent problems during orthopedic surgery. If you are having surgery for a bone or joint issue at this hospital, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
