[Risk factors for the development of surgical wound infections in patients with closed fractures].

Introduction: orthopedic device-associated infections (ODI) are considered surgical site infections (SSI). SSIs are generally attributed to contamination during surgery, but they require certain factors for their development. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the risk factors for the development of SSIs in patients with closed fractures.

[Clinical evolution of patients with infection associated with orthopedic devices in treatment with continuous negative pressure].

Objective: To describe the use of negative pressure therapy with (TPNi) and without instillation (TPNs) as adjuvant treatment in the management of orthopedic device-associated infections (IADO).

Method: Analytic observational study of records of patients with IADO managed with TPNi and TPNs with 0.9% saline solution, in patients > 18 years, operated on in 2018-2021.
