Abstract :
Orthopedic trauma is a serious injury to the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, cartilage, and tendons. It’s caused by an external force, such as a fall, accident, or violent attack. Common orthopedic trauma injuries include: fractures, ligament tears, tendon tears, and joint dislocations. Orthopedic trauma can affect anyone, but it’s especially common in athletes, car accident victims, and people with brittle or weak bones. The aim of study is to assess the infection associated with orthopedic trauma and significant reduction in surgical site infection. To estimate the rate of infection in orthopedic implant surgery in a public hospital and also to identify causative organisms and risk factors associated with surgical site infections. The patients particular were recorded on a prescribed proforma which included name, age, sex, diagnosis, comorbidity, smoking history, nutritional status, type of implant, skin at risk as variables. All patients were given first generation cephalosporins as a standard practice prophylactic intravenous antibiotics on call to the operating room. Based on the criteria, patients were included in the study after taking informed written consent during postoperative period. Patients were observed for postoperative wound infection till discharge. The follow up will be done up to three months according to a protocol, first visit after two weeks and subsequent visits on monthly basis. Surgical site infections are a considerable problem in orthopedic patients. Our infection rate was quite high and needs proper measures to control it because it had great financial burden on patient and on hospital resources and could lead to increased morbidity and mortality in patients. Pain is a subjective sensation and is difficult to assess.
