Onychomycosis infection prevents orthopedic surgery?

    I am hoping my learned friends will be able to shed some reasoning as to why patients are being refused orthopedic surgery on the grounds of OM.

    A group of colleagues have been having a cross country discussion via email and we have failed to come up with recent and robust evidence to suggest a basis for refusal.

    We understand that OM can affect reganulation of wound sites.

    Any direction towards research would be useful.

    Thank you

    Re: OM infection prevents Orthopedic surgery

    Hi George

    What type of orthopaedic surgery? Is it digital/foot or knees/shoulders etc?

    This has been reported by patients waiting for hip and knee replacements.
