Abstract:

We covered the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and classification of infection following fracture osteosynthesis with implants in the first section of the article; this illness is referred to as Osteosynthesis-Associated Infection (OAI). Generally, a prolonged course of antibiotics is required. OAI permits implant retention and fracture healing despite infection. There are five standard treatment approaches that vary based on the degree of infection, fracture healing status and host role. They are debridement with implant retention, implant removal, conversion of fixation, suppression therapy and non-operative therapy, each therapeutic pathway and its tough scenarios are explained along with the decision-making process that led to them.
