The use of prophylactic antibiotics in the surgical treatment of closed long bone fractures is well established. The duration and dosage of prophylaxis, however, vary significantly among surgeons. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to determine if multiple-dose perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is more effective than a single preoperative dose in the prevention of surgical wound infections during the treatment of closed long bone fractures.
