RETRACTION: Wound Infection and Healing in Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis Compared With Intramedullary Nail for Distal Tibial Fractures: A Meta‐Analysis

TL;DR
This retracted paper originally compared wound infection and healing outcomes of two surgical methods for distal tibial fractures.
Contribution
The paper claimed to present a meta-analysis comparing two surgical techniques, but it was retracted due to a compromised peer review process.
Findings
The paper was retracted after an investigation found the peer review process was compromised.
The authors did not respond to the retraction notice.
The retraction was agreed upon by the journal editor and publisher.
