- scheduled surgical area with red swelling and ulceration; positive bacterial cultures in the first detection;
- participation in other clinical trials within 30 days prior to recruitment; pregnancy;
- human immunodeficiency virus type I and/or hepatitis virus infection; neurogenic disease, any disease presenting with rapid bone destruction, poor muscular strength around the hip joint, or complicated by other organ diseases; systemic or local severe bacterial infection; poor surgical tolerance;

Iodophor-impregnated adhesive drapes
Iodophor-free adhesive drapes
In the iodophor-impregnated adhesive drapes group, routine disinfection will be carried out and bacteria samples will be harvested 1 cm from the wound site using sterilized swabs prior to use of the surgical adhesive drapes, and again at the end of surgery before skin suturing, for preoperative bacterial culture. The packaging of the 3M™ iodophor-impregnated adhesive drapes will be opened and the aseptic adhesive drapes unfolded until the "stop" instruction. The adhesive drapes will then be pasted to the surgical wound and smoothed using an aseptic cloth, taking care to avoid air bubbles.
Patients in the iodophor-free adhesive drapes group will undergo the same procedures, but with iodophor-free drapes.
