Hardware Removal Due to Infection after Open Reduction and Internal Fixation: Trends and Predictors
Background: Little is known about trends and predictors of hardware related infection following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of extremity fractures, one of the major causes of failure following ORIF. The present study was designed and conducted to determine trends and predictors of infection-related hardware removal following ORIF of extremities using a nationally representative...

متن کاملSurgical Site Infections Following Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Ankle Fractures
BACKGROUND Ankle fracture fixation is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures. Although the results are generally favourable, complications are not uncommon, particularly in the case of surgical site infections. These have considerable impact on both postoperative morbidity and healthcare costs. Paradoxically, there is a paucity of literature studying patients who sustain them...
متن کاملIncidence of hardware-related pain and its effect on functional outcomes after open reduction and internal fixation of ankle fractures.
OBJECTIVES To document the incidence of late pain and hardware removal after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of ankle fractures. To test the hypothesis that late pain overlying the distal tibial and fibular hardware is associated with poorer functional outcomes. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING Level II trauma center. PATIENTS One hundred twenty-six skeletally mature patie...
