title: [Surgery of sepsis in orthopedics and trauma - A highlight : Current survey by the section for bone and soft tissue infections of the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma].
abstract: Surgery of sepsis in trauma surgery and orthopedics is attracting increasingly more attention due to the rising presence of multidrug-resistant pathogens and the increasing number of operative interventions. Despite extensive experience over decades neither the symptoms nor the treatment strategies have been evaluated and it has become obvious that a scientific investigation of this complex topic is necessary for optimization of patient care under economically sound conditions. The aim of this article is to give a snapshot from German healthcare institutions for trauma surgery and orthopedics to answer some questions on this topic from the section for bone and soft tissue infections (SeKuWi) of the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma (DGOU) in cooperation with the German Society for Hospital Hygiene (DGKH).
