Study Summary

Cutibacterium acnes - formally known as Propionibacter acnes (P. acnes) is the most common pathogen associated with prosthetic joint infection of the shoulder. Despite current skin preparation techniques, P. acnes is encountered at the skin surface and at the natural reservoir in the sebaceous glands during the surgical exposure; current levels of exposure are implicated in overall prosthetic infection risk. Therefore, this study endeavors to decrease P. acnes burden at the surgical incision using preoperative blue light phototherapy and benzyl peroxide washes targeting both the skin surface and sebaceous glands.
