Treatment of Fracture Related Infection in Latin America. International Multicenter Study

Status: Unknown
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Postoperative bone infection is a severe complication in the treatment of fractures and is more frequent than in elective joint replacement surgeries. Surgical treatment is based on meticulous debridement of bone and soft tissue, dead space management, soft tissue reconstruction when necessary, and restoration of bony stability in the non-union fracture. In addition, local antibiotic therapy is recommended in certain circumstances. This study aims to evaluate the results of surgical treatment of fracture-related infection in Latin America.
