Summary
In 673 open fractures of long bones treated from 1955 to 1968 at Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and analyzed retrospectively and in a prospective study from 1969 to 1973, Sensitivity studies suggested that cephalosporin is currently the prophylactic antibiotic of choice.
