Infection is one of the complication of surgeries but somehot preventable.
Don't be panic.
it needs to be evaluated that upto what extent the infection is-if it is superficial suture abscess of infection is till the bone.accordingly we have to manage.
cause of infections are many including patient,surgeon and fracture causes.
if you are diabetic then it needs to be controlled.
and best way to treat the infection is to diagnose correctly early and treating it perfectly.
good luck.
