Abstract | Open tibia fractures are devastating, life changing injuries, with infection associated with substantial morbidity to the patient. Reducing infection is a research priority, but before interventional studies can be designed, the incidence of infection following this injury needs to be better defined. Our aim was to estimate the global incidence of infection following an open tibia fracture. A systematic review was performed of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science and Global Index Medicus. We included randomised controlled trials with more than ten participants which reported infections after open diaphyseal or distal fractures (AO 42 or 43). Primary outcome was deep infection according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention criteria. Secondary outcome included causative micro-organisms. A meta-analysis using a random effects model to assess incidence and between-treatment effects was performed. Thirteen studies including 1463 adults from seven middle-income countries, seven high-income countries and one low-income country were included. The incidence of infection was 12.12 person-years (95% CI 7.95-18.47). A subgroup analysis compared external fixation and intramedullary nailing showed no difference between infection rates. There were limited data on organisms, but |
