In the Original Investigation entitled “Effect of Antibiotic Prophylaxis on Surgical Site Infections Following Removal of Orthopedic Implants Used for Treatment of Foot, Ankle, and Lower Leg Fractures: A Randomized Clinical Trial”~(1) published in the December 26, 2017, issue of JAMA , in the Discussion section, it reads, “There were numerically more deep SSIs in the saline group than in the cefazolin group (1 patient [0.9%] in the cefazolin group vs 7 patients [2.9%] in the saline group)….” It should read, “There were numerically more deep SSIs in the saline group than in the cefazolin group (1 patient [0.4%] in the cefazolin group vs 7 patients [2.9%] in the saline group)….” This article was corrected online.
