Hyperglycemia as a risk factor for postoperative early wound infection after bicondylar tibial plateau fractures: Determining a predictive model based on four methods

•Stress-induced hyperglycemia has shown to correlate with a higher risk of infection and poorer outcomes.•This study presents and compares four different methods to predict infection based on glucose values.•Having an open fracture remains the most important predictor of infection.•Although none of these methods prove to be a driving factor for infection, we believe that they can be successfully applied to a broader orthopaedic population.
