Abstract
One 3 g intravenous dose of cefuroxime during the induction of anaesthesia was administered randomly in a series of 162 consecutive hip fractures. The overall infection rate was 8.0%, and 2.4% for deep infections. The number of infections was seven in the prophylaxis group and six in the control group. The percentage of deep infections was 3.9 and 1.4, correspondingly. Antibiotic prophylaxis given did not seem to have an effect on the infection rate.
