Improving surgical results: an essential review of orthopaedic surgery antibiotic prophylactic strategies
Author:Uttam Kumar, Rajesh Kumar Sharma, Shobhit Raj, Priya Rani
Abstract:
The likelihood of extended hospitalisation, increased healthcare expenses, and patient suffering resulting
from post-orthopaedic surgical site infections (SSIs) means that the postoperative burden is still somewhat
heavy. These diseases also provide a great difficulty for orthopaedic surgeons. Along with higher rates of
morbidity and death, post-orthopaedic SSIs have been linked to increased sensitivity to negative health
consequences. SAP, or systemic antibiotic prophylactic therapy, lowers the SSI risk. Different characteristics
of closed fractures, open fractures, arthroplasty, and percutaneous fixation affect the data and antimicrobial
treatment. Implementing SAP requires careful balancing of good antibiotic stewardship practices with
reducing the occurrence of SSIs. This approach essentially stops antibiotic resistance from developing as
well as the frequency of unpleasant effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the present body of
knowledge on the use of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis in orthopaedic surgery and investigate the possible
effects connected with the improper dosage of antibiotics
