Dr. Zura and Dr. Rivera publish 10 papers to supplement JBJS PREP-IT Investigation

 

A recent article by Dr. Iberê Pereira Datti, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, brought attention to the Pragmatic Randomized Trial Evaluating Preoperative Alcohol Skin Solutions in Fractured Extremities. However, a recent commentary led by Drs. Gerard Slobogean, MD, MPH; Nathan N. O’Hara, PhD, MHA; and Sheila Sprague, PhD, was released to dispute Dr. Datti's findings.

Here is a link to the commentary

Dr. Zura and Dr. Rivera contributed to the investigation, publishing ten papers in support of the commentary. As a side note, Dr. Zura served on the Adjudication Committee, and Dr. Rivera was part of the Military Core.
