Fracture-related infection (FRI) poses significant challenges in the management of foot and ankle fractures, potentially leading to functional impairment and heightened health care expenses. This review addresses the diagnosis, risk factors, and management strategies for FRI. Surgical management involves multidisciplinary collaboration, emphasizing debridement, antimicrobial therapy, and implant removal when indicated. Specific considerations for limited soft tissue coverage, tenuous blood supply, and fracture type in the foot and the ankle underscore the importance of tailored approaches to optimize outcomes and reduce complications in FRI management.
