Clindamycin is one of the most important antibiotics used against bone infections, in this study we tried to reveal if there is difference between clindamycin effect after open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) in upper and lower jaw operations and the clindamycin effect in open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of the upper and lower limb bones operations, and to know if the presence of anaerobic bacteria in the oral cavity make any difference of this drug effect comparing with elsewhere bones. We prepared retrospective study about 260 in-patients during the last 10 years, 130 of them after open reduction internal fixation in limb bones and 130 patients after open reduction and internal fixation ORIF in maxillofacial region, given I.V.
