Unexpected Positive Cultures in Rotator Cuff Revision Surgery

"In this study, the specific procedures compared to routine care are :~* Considering the addition of questionnaires, this study will be prospective. Due to the use of bacteriological samples, it is considered as a minimal-risk research.~* The research procedure involves a bacteriological analysis of operative elements (sutures placed during the first intervention, the product of tendon debridement, and the subacromial bursa (cleaning product)) used during the re-intervention. These usually discarded operative samples are collected for bacteriological analysis.~* Antibiotic treatment cannot be prescribed immediately after the surgery and during the first month following this re-intervention (time for biofilm formation). As per the protocol, even a positive sample should not lead to the initiation of systematic antibiotic therapy. In the case of identification of a pathogenic microorganism, antibiotic therapy will be prescribed, leading to discontinuation of the study."
