Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
This is a retrospective study conducted in the traumatology orthopedics department at IbnSina Hospital and on 76 infection cases due to osteosynthesis material spotted in limbs. The main objectives were to highlight the epidemiologic, diagnostic, therapeutic aspects of the osteoarticular infections after using osteosynthesis devices. The study covered a period of 5 years from January 2012 to December 2016. The average age of the patients was 38,08 years old with a male dominance (H/F= 3). 15,78% of the patients had an opened fracture before. All of our 76 patients were bearing osteosynthesis devices. The lower limb was mostly affected with 85% cases. The Staphylococcus aureus was identified in 24.4% of all cases. Our patients were operated following a protocol associating osteosynthesis material ablation, excision and drainage. General antibiotherapy was systematically instaured. 44,7% of the patients were concidered cured.
