title: [Antibiotic treatment in hand surgery of childhood (author's transl)].
abstract: The use of antibiotics in hand surgery in children must be guided by the same critical indications which apply to antibiotic therapy in general, and bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics must be considered in each case. In potentially infected patients, intra- or perioperative prophylactic antibiotic may be used and the dangers of widespread uncritical use of antibiotics is pointed out.
