CLIN ORTHOP RELAT RES , 2005, n° 439, p. 74-78 Doc n°: 122356 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DD24 - TRAUMATISMES - CEINTURE SCAPULAIRE Currently there are no reported series on the treatment of patients cared for after infection of their clavicular fractures. Therefore, our purpose in doing this study was to review patients who were treated for infection after clavicle fractures at our institutions between 1995 and 2001 to determine the organisms responsible for infection, the union rates, and the functional results. During this period, six patients were treated for infection after a clavicular fracture. Five patients had a postoperative infection after attempts at open reduction and internal fixation. One patient had an infection after her nonunion eroded through the skin. Four patients presented 3 months or fewer from the time of injury/surgery. Three patients had a polymicrobial infection Langue : ANGLAIS |
