Lower Extremity Fracture Clinical Trial
Official title:
Antibiotic Use & Open Fracture of the Lower Extremity
It is important to recognize the potential for renal injury and be cognizant of this during the management of complex trauma patients. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the necessity of aminoglycoside usage for patients with open lower extremity fractures. Hypothesis: adding aminoglycoside on top of cephalosporin in treating lower extremity fracture will make no significant difference in term of clinical outcomes when compared to cephalosporin alone.
The trauma patient is particularly susceptible to renal injury due to factors such as renal hypoperfusion in the acute setting, the concomitant administration of necessary intravenous contrast agents for diagnostic, and sometimes additionally therapeutic imaging (3). This is additionally complicated by the presentation of trauma patients with pre-existing renal disease. This study will assess whether prophylactic antibiotics <72hrs have similar outcomes as ≥ 72 hrs of antibiotics, whether type of antibiotics impacts outcomes in patients in either group, help determine the incidence of infection in Gustilo Type III lower extremity fracture when treated either with a single agent (cephalosporin) or dual agent (cephalosporin + aminoglycoside) and the complication profile of patients with Gustilo Type III lower extremity fracture when treated either with a single agent (cephalosporin 1st generation) or dual agent (cephalosporin 1st generation + aminoglycoside). ;
