Aim

The purpose of this study is to analyze the demographic and microbiological variables of acute ankle infections posterior to ankle osteosynthesis and to determine the different characteristics of patients withE. cloacae infection.

Method

A multicenter retrospective observational study (4 national hospitals) of acute post osteosynthesis infections of ankle fracture operated between 2015 and 2018 was implemented. The demographic and microbiological variables relating to the surgical intervention and the antibiotic treatment performed were collected. A descriptive assessment of all the variables and a univariate comparison between patients with E. cloacae infection and patients with alternative microorganism infections were performed. The SPSS v25 program for Windows was the choice for statistical analysis.
