A Study Of PCAas A Prophylaxis Against C. Acnes Wound Colonization During Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an increased dose closer to surgery of this oral nutritional supplement PCA can result in a change in C. acnes positive cultures and bacterial load seen at the time of elective primary Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA). We seek to determine whether this higher dose of the nutrient supplement changes the bacterial load during total shoulder arthroplasty. Our hypothesis is that subjects who consume the increased dose of the nutrient supplement may exhibit a reduction the growth of C. acnes, especially in the deeper cultures.
