Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the use of antibiotics with no use in people undergoing soft tissue hand surgery in developing countries. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is an antibiotic necessary for this type of surgery in this population? Researchers will compare a group of patients who receives antibiotics during the surgical procedure with a group who receives no antibiotics to see if infection rates are the same.
