ALB and infection: Our group reported a 12% infection rate in 150 patients who underwent proximal humerus reconstruction, with no difference between osteoarticular allograft, endoprostheses, and allograft-prosthetic composites.34 We cited low preoperative hemoglobin and albumin levels as independent risk factors for infection in that patient population.34 Lord et al22 reported an 11.7% infection rate in their allograft cohort.
