Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two different antimicrobial prophylaxis regimens (short cycle vs. standard) in preventing acute postoperative infections in orthopedic surgery for limb diseases.
- In a randomized, double-blind trial involving 131 patients, one group received a 24-hour cefalotin followed by ten days of dicloxacillin, while the other group received the same initial treatment and then a placebo for ten days.
- The results showed no significant difference in infection rates between the two groups, suggesting that a short-term cefalotin regimen is equally effective as the longer one with dicloxacillin, indicating no need for prolonged antibiotic use in clean surgical wounds.

The purpose is to find out which is the prevailing clinical skill in various Orthopedics residencies by applying a measurement tool prepared ex profeso.
