Fracture-related infections after osteosynthesis for hip fracture are associated with higher mortality: A retrospective single-center cohort study
We found an association between FRIs after hip fracture osteosynthesis and increased mortality, underscoring the critical need for FRI prevention measures in this frail patient group. The incidence and microbiological findings were consistent with previous studies.
