Cloxacillin in the Prophylaxis of Postoperative Infections of the Hip

CARL ERICSON M.D.1, LARS LIDGREN M.D.1, and LARS LINDBERG M.D.1

1 From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University Hospital, Lund, the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and the Institute of Clinical Bacteriology, Malmö General Hospital, University of Lund, Malmö, Sweden

In two widely separated hospitals a double-blind study of 171 hip operations was done, one group of patients receiving prophylactic cloxacillin, the other receiving a placebo. The first group had no postoperative infections, while the second had twelve (in eighty-eight patients). All of the patients had major surgery to the hip, and ten of the twelve infections were staphylococcal.
