Despite the implications of trochanteric and subtrochanteric intramedullary (IM) nail infection
for patients with hip fracture, little is known about risk factors for therapeutic failure and …

Aim: To investigate the incidence, risk factors and pathogenic micro-organisms causing
superficial and deep infection in subtrochanteric femoral fractures managed with an …

Few articles describe the management of postoperative infection occurring after the use of
an intramedullary nail in the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures. Implant removal …

Background The proximal femoral nail is a commonly used fixation device for extra-capsular
neck of femur fractures at our UK NHS Trust. Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a catastrophic …

Implant related sepsis is a relatively unusual complication of intra-medullary nail fixation of
long bone fractures. Depending on the extent of infection, timing of diagnosis and progress …

Purpose Management of fracture-related infection (FRI) after intramedullary fixation (IF) is a
challenge. The aim of the present study is to describe a series of 26 patients with FRI after IF …

Objective To explore the clinical effect of antibiotic artificial bone implantation and external
fixation in the treatment of infection after intramedullary nail fixation. Methods We …

Fracture-related infections (FRIs) remain a significant problem. Many approach FRI cases in
a staged fashion, focusing on infection eradication initially and fracture union during …

Abstract Introduction: Early Fracture-Related Infections (FRIs) are a common entity in
hospitals treating trauma patients. The aims of this study were to 1) evaluate the recurrence …

The pathogenesis of infections associated with fracture-fixation devices is related to
microorganisms growing in biofilms, which render these infections difficult to treat. These …
