This clinical workshop organised by the Pro-Implant Foundation focuses on the structured management of fracture-related infection (FRI) in orthopaedic trauma care. The programme is centred on real-world clinical challenges and decision-making across the full treatment pathway.
Key topics include diagnostic strategies and sampling, principles of debridement, implant and fixation considerations in the presence of infection, staged reconstruction, and systemic and local antibiotic therapy. Emphasis is placed on treatment algorithms, consistency of approach, and applying established FRI principles to everyday clinical practice.
The workshop is aimed at orthopaedic trauma surgeons and clinicians involved in infection management who are seeking applied, experience-based guidance rather than basic science or purely theoretical instruction.
