Official title:
The Use of Prophylactic Antibiotic in Treatment of Fingertip Amputation: A Randomized Prospective Trial

The investigators goal was to compare the rate of infections among subgroups with and without prophylactic antibiotic treatment. The study hypothesis was that infection rates were similar in the two groups.
