Abstract
This study shows the enormous hospital-related healthcare costs associated with IAFF of the tibia. Treatment costs for patients with deep infection are higher than previously mentioned in the literature. Therefore, future research should focus more on prevention rather than treatment strategies, not only to reduce patient morbidity but also to reduce the socio-economic impact.
