The orthopedic surgeons are at a high risk of acquiring blood infections by occupational exposition. In the last years AIDS prevalence has notably raised the infection danger, especially during the urgency surgeries, when it is not always possible to take all the indispensable caution measures, because of the seriousness of the lesions. In these cases, the percutaneous transmission is the most common way, and the existence of staff mucous-cutaneous lesions has a great importance. In our work, we pretend to expose the main facts related with our specialty, which propitiate the infection, and also the strategic measures allowing diminishing the surgeon's infection risk.Downloads
