Summary
This study looks at whether adding an extra cleaning step before foot and ankle surgery can lower the risk of infection. About 100 adults having elective foot or ankle surgery will take part. Half will get the standard skin cleaning, and half will get an extra scrub with alcohol and chlorhexidine soap. The goal is to see if the extra step reduces germs and infections.
