Authors report on the results of Rocephin prophylaxis in 30 total prostheses. The dose of the preparation was 2g/day. It was given 3 times in intravenous drop infusion 1-1.5 hours before the operation and on the second and third day. The drains were then removed. During 1 year observation no wound infection was observed. As a postoperative complication exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, existing already since years, was found. This however healed after 5 and 6 days of Rocephin and expectorant treatment. As side effect of the medicament, in single cases, vomiting, stomatitis, thrombocytopenia and allergic dermatitis were observed. It is stated, based on own experience, that the broad spectrum Rocephin, belonging to the third generation cephalosporins, securing a 24 hours bactericide activity, is suitable in a single 2g dose/day in hip endoprosthesis to prevent postoperative infections.
