Local Antibiotics and the Risk of Antimicrobial Resistance in Extremity Fractures Complicated by Fracture-Related Infection
Abstract
BACKGROUND: We evaluated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns following local antibiotic use in a large cohort of patients with fractures from the PREP-IT (A Program of Randomized Trials to Evaluate Preoperative Antiseptic Skin Solutions in Orthopaedic Trauma) study. We hypothesized that, among patients with extremity fractures who developed fracture-related infection (FRI), there would be no difference in AMR rates between those who had or …
