  1. DM, osteoporosis, COPD, preoperative antibiotics, fracture and operative type are classification variables; BMI, smoking, operative time, blood loss, operative incision, capacity draining, and time of draining are continuous variables (Sig./p < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Exp (B) >1 were risk factors and <1 were protective factors). Italicized value is statistically different
