Extended-course antibiotic prophylaxis in lower limb amputation: randomized clinical trial (2022)
Journal Article
Souroullas, P., Barnes, R., Carradice, D., Smith, G., Huang, C., & Chetter, I. (2022). Extended-course antibiotic prophylaxis in lower limb amputation: randomized clinical trial. British journal of surgery, 109(5), 426-432. https://doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znac053

BACKGROUND: Lower limb amputation (LLA) is typically described as 'clean surgery', but surgical-site infection (SSI) rates are high and there is significant variation in antibiotic prophylaxis practice. This study aimed to determine whether an extend... Read More about Extended-course antibiotic prophylaxis in lower limb amputation: randomized clinical trial.
