Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients ≥ 18 years with a suspected fracture\-related infection will be included after a signed informed consent. The clinical suspicion of a fracture\-related infection is based on several (clinical) parameters as defined by the consensus group of the international Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO Foundation).

Exclusion Criteria

  • \- Patients \< 18 years, pregnant or lactating women, patients with claustrophobia or known allergies for intravenous contrast agents will be excluded from this study.
  • \- Patients with evident acute postoperative surgical site infections and who don’t need additional diagnostic imaging because the clinical diagnosis of infection could be made without any doubt on the physical examination (e.g. evident pus drainage from the wound or wound dehiscence with exposed implants) will be excluded from this study. According to the current practice, these patients don’t need additional imaging, because a reoperation will be performed anyway.
