I just have a quick question. Are antibiotics given routinely during or after TKR?
I have been put on 10 days of Doxycycline Hyclate for a cat bite. I will end it just 4 days prior to my surgery. The bite is a very small puncture wound that has pretty much healed over already, but my doctor wants me to take it as I know cat bites can be very nasty.
I just wondered if this would interfere in any way with antibiotics I may receive for my TKR.
