ABSTRACT

Fracture-related infection is one of the most feared complications for orthopedic surgeons and patients. What is more frightening than aseptic bone nonunion is the presence of deep or shallow bone tissue infection at the broken end of the fracture.The high rate of recurrence of bone infections, long treatment cycles and the risk of disability, amputation and death bring physical and mental suffering to patients.At the same time, the complexity of the disease puts forward higher requirements for the diagnosis and treatment of orthopedic doctors. This paper reviews the treatment methods of fracture related infections in recent years at home and abroad.
