The epidemiology of fracture-related infections in Germany [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractThe epidemiology of fracture-related infection (FRI) is unknown, which makes it difficult to estimate future demands and evaluate progress in infection prevention. Therefore, we aimed to determine the nationwide burden’s development over the last decade as a function of age group and gender.
