Objective

To identify risk factors for surgical site infections and to quantify the contribution of independent risk factors to the probability of developing infection after definitive fixation of tibial plateau fractures.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed at a Level I trauma center between 2004 and 2010. A total of 251 consecutive patients (256 cases) were divided into two groups, those with and those without a surgical site infection. Preoperative and perioperative variables were compared between these groups and risk factors were determined by univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression.
