| The incidence of wound infection after surgery with a score higher than ten from the wound evaluation and the absence of wound infection with a score lower than 10 will be measured by the ASEPSIS INDEX tool after orthopedic surgery. Timepoint: It will be measured once. The symptoms of wound infection will be monitored from the time after surgery until two weeks after discharge from the hospital, and on the 14th day after discharge, the scores obtained from the Asepsis index tool will be collected. Method of measurement: Based on the ASEPSIS INDEX tool, evaluation of wound healing after surgery including; Complementary antibiotic therapy (0-10 points), redness of the wound at the surgical site (0-5 points), serous discharge from the surgical site (0-5 points), deep disintegration of the wound (0-10 points), culture from the wound site and isolation of bacteria ( 0-10 points) Wound debridement under general anesthesia (0-10 points), drainage of purulent wound secretions under local anesthesia, purulent exudate (0-10 points), hospitalization for more than 14 days (0-5 points). The maximum score will be 70 and the minimum score will be zero. A score less than ten means complete healing of the wound and no wound infection. A score higher than ten means wound infection.;The severity of wound infection after surgery will be determined based on the ASEPSIS INDEX standard tool. Based on this tool, a score of 0-10 indicates complete healing of the wound, a score of 11-20 indicates impaired wound healing, a score of 21-30 indicates partial wound infection, a score of 31-40 indicates moderate wound infection, and a score greater than 40 indicates severe wound infection. Timepoint: It will be measured once. The symptoms of wound infection will be monitored from the time after surgery until two weeks after discharge from the hospital, and on the 14th day after discharge, the scores obtained from the Asepsis index tool will be collected.
