“…Secinti et al [16] compared polarized silver-plated screws with normal screws in rabbits in terms of infection and reported that there was a statistically significant difference between them. In our study, there was a small difference between the titanium screw and silver-plated screw groups, but this difference was not statistically significant.…”
Our study suggests that rifamycin application to the surgical area in spinal operations with instrumentation is an effective method to prevent S. aureus infections.
