Abstract

Background: ANTIBIOTIC therapy prevents postoperative infections after ORTHOPEDIC PROCEDURES, but the method and prescribed dose of this therapy are debated. SHORT-TERM prophylaxis and long-term prophylaxis are 2 accepted methods after ORTHOPEDIC PROCEDURES.Objectives: In this prospective observational study, we compared the results of shortterm and long-term prophylaxis after elective ORTHOPEDIC PROCEDURES at 2 hospitals of Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences.Patients and Methods: We divided patients who underwent uneventful orthopedic operations into 2 groups, administered short- and long-term prophylactic ANTIBIOTIC therapy, respectively, and observed the patients for signs and symptoms of superficial and deep infections. We compared and analyzed the results with SPSS, consideringP values of less than 0.001 to indicate a significant difference.Results: There was no significant difference regarding superficial and deep infections between short- and long-term prophylaxis groups; thus, both methods can be used for prophylaxis after elective orthopedic surgeries, effecting equal rates of success.Conclusions: SHORT-TERM prophylaxis can be used for clean ORTHOPEDIC PROCEDURES with equivalent results as long-term therapy.
