Development and evaluation of a risk calculator for fracture-related infection after open reduction and internal fixation: a multi-institutional study
The FRI risk calculator showed good predictive abilities, with optimized cutoff points aiding perioperative planning and preventive measures. Patient engagement in understanding of infection risk can improve treatment outcomes. Limitations include participant biases and retrospective design; prospective external validation is recommended.
