Introduction:
Surgical site infection (ISO) is the most common nosocomial infection and is a process associated with multiple factors, which together generate a condition that directly affects the welfare of the patient.

Cross-sectional study, conducted over 1 year period, the sample size was established for all patients who met the inclusion criteria. An instrument takes the variables; double tabulation of patients is performed in Excel 2013 and data are analyzed in Stata version 11.
Results:
The average age was 44.3 ± 18.8 years and the male: female ratio is 1.7:1. Clinical features, lower limbs are the most affected and 21.9 % of cases affect the femur. A prevalence of 6.6 % was found, being the most common deep infection classification. Staphylococcus aureus was cultured in 38.5% of which 40% were methicillin sensible.
Conclusion:
ISO prevalence in patients with closed fractures in HUS is 6.6% higher compared with literature data. The findings of this study it was established that hemoglobin below 10 g/dl, transfusion, reoperation and surgical risk ASA were associated statistically with ISO.
