Abstract
Background: We performed a systematic review of the literature on antibiotic prophylaxis practices in open reduction, and internal fixation of, facial fracture(s) (ORIFfx). We hypothesized that prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) would not decrease the rate of surgical site infections (SSIs). Methods: We performed a systematic review of four databases: PubMed, CENTRAL, EMBase, and Web of Science, from inception through January 15, 2017. Three independent reviewers extracted fracture location (orbital, mid-face, mandible), antibiotic use, SSI incidence, and time from injury to surgery. Mantel-Haenszel and generalized estimating equations were carried out independently for each fracture zone. Results: Of the 587 articles identified, 54 underwent full-text review, yielding 27 studies that met our inclusion criteria. Of these, 16 studies (n = 2,316 patients) provided data for mandible fractures, four studies (n = 439) for mid-face fractures, and six studies (n = 377) for orbital fractures. Pooled analysis of each fracture type's SSI rate showed no statistically significant association with the odds ratio (OR) of developing an SSI. For mandible fractures treated with ORIFfx, the OR for an SSI after 24-72 hours of prophylaxis relative to <24 hours was 0.85 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.62-1.17), whereas for >72 hours compared with <24 hours, the OR was 1.42 (95% CI) 0.96-2.11). For mid-face fractures, there was no improvement in SSI rate from PAP (OR 1.05; 95% CI 0.20-5.63). Conclusions: We did not demonstrate a lower rate of SSI associated with PAP for any ORIFfx repair. Post-operative antibiotics for >72 hours paradoxically may increase the SSI risk after mandible fracture repairs.
