Outcomes of surgical site infections (SSIs) in spinal trauma have not been studied extensively. This single‐centre registry‐based cohort study aimed to identify the outcomes of patients with SSIs in an Australian population. There was no association between SSI and patient‐reported outcomes; however, there was an association between sepsis, readmission and revision surgery.
