Abstract

Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a serious complication that can result in poor outcomes, delayed bone-healing, soft tissue compromise, and prolonged hospitalization. FRI can present in various ways, largely depending on the timepoint after fracture. Management of this condition can be challenging. In this article we consider how to approach this condition and look at the rationale for decision-making in managing cases with complex infection.

期刊介绍： Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
