Summary
This study tests whether adding a pre-surgery scrub with isopropyl alcohol and chlorhexidine soap to the standard cleaning routine can lower the number of germs on the skin and reduce infections after elective foot and ankle surgery. About 100 adults having planned foot or ankle surgery will take part. Half will get the extra scrub, and half will get the usual cleaning alone.
