In 427 ankle fractures, posterolateral and lateral approaches showed similar fracture-related infection rates, so approach choice should be based on fracture morphology, not infection risk.
A matter of definition : variation in treatment success of fracture-related infections.
In 106 fracture-related infection patients, treatment success rates varied dramatically (39–96%) depending on which outcome definition was used, underscoring the need for standardized FRI outcome criteria.
Defining treatment outcome in fracture-related infections: A scoping review.
This scoping review of 111 studies found only 15% used a clear definition of treatment success for fracture-related infections, underscoring a critical lack of standardized outcome reporting.
Fracture-related infection blood-based biomarkers: Diagnostic strategies.
This review of blood-based biomarkers for fracture-related infection highlights current diagnostic limitations and the promise of emerging omics-based approaches for earlier detection.
The DAIR-procedure in fracture-related infection-When and how.
This review outlines when to choose DAIR versus implant exchange for fracture-related infection based on symptom duration, implant stability, pathogen type, and host/soft tissue factors.
Soft tissue management in fracture-related infection requires meticulous debridement, consideration of closure timing and negative cultures, appropriate flap selection, and potential negative pressure therapy.
This review summarizes current evidence on local antimicrobial strategies and dead space management techniques for treating fracture-related infection after surgical debridement.
An international expert consensus provides evidence-based recommendations on systemic antimicrobial therapy for fracture-related infection, complementing surgical debridement as the primary treatment.
Diagnosing Fracture-Related Infection: Current Concepts and Recommendations
Reviews and updates consensus diagnostic criteria for fracture-related infection, covering clinical signs, biomarkers, imaging, microbiology, and histopathology to guide diagnosis.
