Review highlights factors affecting wound healing in HIV-positive individuals undergoing orthopaedic surgery, indicating gaps in current literature.
Current surgical literature on wound healing often excludes immunosuppressed individuals, such as those with HIV, due to their clinical complexity. Underlying disease processes can negatively influence perioperative outcomes through prolonged wound healing and increased infection risk. This review summarises factors that influence wound healing in patients with HIV undergoing orthopaedic surgery and highlights literature gaps in HIV-specific outcomes that inform intervention timing, duration, and surveillance.
