  • Title: The role of prophylactic antibiotics in elective hand surgery.
    Author: Rizvi M, Bille B, Holtom P, Schnall SB.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 2008 Mar; 33(3):413-20. PubMed ID: 18343301.
    Abstract:
    The current literature has poorly defined the role of antibiotic agents in elective hand surgery. The reason for this may be due to a small number of well-designed studies specifically addressing the efficacy of antibiotics in hand surgery. Our purpose is to critically review the current literature in an attempt to more precisely define the role of prophylactic antibiotics in elective hand surgery.
