Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Orbital Fractures.

CONCLUSION: Antibiotics for prevention of orbital infection in patients with orbital fractures have become widely used. Coordination between trauma teams and specialists is needed to prevent patient overmedication and antibiotic resistance. Should antibiotics be used, shorter courses and avoidance of broad spectrum agents are recommended. Additional studies are needed. PMID: 28400887 [PubMed - in process]
