Although poly-microbial infection is common in FRI after pelvic fracture, the recurrence rate of infection is relatively low. A complex pelvic trauma with significant soft tissue injury is a risk factor for recurrent infection and multiple revisions. A strategy of DAIR can be successful in patients with a stable implant. In cases with recurrent infection or an unstable fracture site, the exchange of implants should be considered.
