Two levels of certainty around diagnostic features were defined. The outcome of this process led to a consensus definition of FRI. As a final step, a consensus meeting was held with an expert panel. Approximately 90% of the more than 2000 surgeons who responded suggested that a definition of FRI is required. In response to this conclusion, an international survey on the need for and key components of a definition of FRI was distributed amongst all registered AOTrauma users. The process that led to this proposed definition started with a systematic literature review, which revealed that the majority of randomized controlled trials in fracture care do not use a standardized definition of FRI. In order to address this issue, an expert group comprised of a number of scientific and medical organizations has been convened, with the support of the AO Foundation, in order to develop a consensus definition. The absence of a working definition of FRI renders existing studies difficult to evaluate or compare. Accurately estimating the impact of this complication has been hampered by the lack of a clear definition.
