Risk of surgical site infection after hip hemiarthroplasty of femoral neck fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a major complication following hemiarthroplasty surgery for displaced neck of femur fractures. Our aim is to systematically analyse relevant peer-reviewed studies for recent clinical information on the quantitative risk of surgical site infection (SSI) after hemiarthroplasty (HA) of hip fracture patients and on the factors which influence the SSI rates.

Methods

A comprehensive search of electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane) was performed for clinical articles published between 2005 and 2023 and systematically reviewed with a defined list of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The methodology was undertaken and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement checklist
