Implication

Retrospective analysis identifies smoking and hypoalbuminemia as key risk factors for infection in tibial plateau fractures, suggesting important preoperative interventions.

Key Points

The study found a 5% incidence of surgical site infections in patients following surgery for tibial plateau fractures.
Univariable analysis revealed significant risk factors for surgical site infections, including smoking, hypoalbuminemia, and fracture type.
Multivariable analysis confirmed that fracture type and preoperative hypoalbuminemia are independent predictors of surgical site infection.
Addressing modifiable risk factors may reduce surgical site infections in adults undergoing surgery for tibial plateau fractures.
