This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether one antiseptic wash works better than another for cleaning surgical wounds during hip replacement surgery. You will receive standard hip replacement surgery, but your surgical wound will be washed with either chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine solution. The study wants to find out which solution helps wounds heal better and with fewer complications.
Doctors want to know which antiseptic solution is best for preventing wound healing problems after hip replacement. Right now, it's unclear which cleaning solution leads to better outcomes, so this study will compare the two to help guide future surgical care.

You will undergo standard hip replacement surgery, during which your surgical wound will be cleaned with either chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine solution (decided randomly). After surgery, you will attend regular follow-up visits as normal, with special visits at 2 weeks and 6 weeks where your incision will be photographed to track how well it heals. The study team will also monitor your medical records for any complications or additional hospital visits.
