Deptula A et al. - A 31-year-old female, a car accident victim, was admitted to hospital because of polytrauma. After open reduction and internal fixation of a supracondylar femoral fracture by means of the dynamic condylar screw (DCS) system, a purulent fistula occurred. Microbiological examination of the pus revealed C. difficile as the single aetiological factor of this infection. Empirical antibiotic treatment with cefazoline and metronidazole had been administered right after the surgery.
