Growing of the geriatric population has brought about increase of lower extremity fractures. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of surgical site infection after the surgery for lower extremity fractures, except proximal femoral fracture, in over eighty years old patients. Patients with closed lower extremity fracture which were treated surgically in 2011 were divided into two groups (Group O; the equal or more than 80 years old, Group Y; from 20 to 65 years old), and the incidence of infection and the outcome after its treatment was compared between Group O and Group Y.Background
