🚨NEW STUDY: adding antibiotic tobramycin to vancomycin during surgery for high‑risk leg fractures did not reduce infections—and may even increase risk. 🦴🦵 Published in @jama.com and involving 1,500+ patients nationwide, evidence‑based medicine matters—for safer surgeries and better recovery.

Graphic of a leg and medicine labeled "T" and "V" showing that deep surgical site infections requiring surgery occurred in 51 patients (7.4%) of 753 in the tobramycin plus vancomycin group and 47 patients (6.6%) of 775 in the vancomycin-only group at 182 days.
