Summary
It is important to recognize the potential for renal injury and be cognizant of this during
the management of complex trauma patients. The primary aim of this study is to investigate
the necessity of aminoglycoside usage for patients with open lower extremity fractures.
Hypothesis: adding aminoglycoside on top of cephalosporin in treating lower extremity
fracture will make no significant difference in term of clinical outcomes when compared to
cephalosporin alone.
