Abstract
Ultimately, pre-operative nasal swabbing for S. aureus is a simple and non-invasive diagnostic tool with prognostic implications in patients undergoing fracture nonunion surgery. This study found that MRSA and MSSA colonized patients with fracture nonunion of long bones do not have an increased association with positive cultures or a predisposition towards greater post-operative infectious complications.
