Subcutaneous tissue disinfection is more effective than the use of electrocautery in reducing Cutibacterium acnes burden in open shoulder surgery
Disinfection of the subcutaneous tissue reduces the contamination rate of <i>C</i>. <i>acnes</i> by a factor of 2 during open shoulder surgery compared with an approach performed with electrocautery and could limit the contamination of the operating field.
