Prevention of Infection in Open Fractures
Charalampos G Zalavras. Infect Dis Clin North Am. 2017 Jun.
Abstract
Open fractures are complex injuries that are associated with increased risk for complications, such as infection and nonunion. The goals of open fracture management are prevention of infection, fracture union, and restoration of function. These goals are best achieved by careful patient and injury assessment, early administration of systemic antibiotics supplemented by local delivery of antibiotics in severe injuries, thorough surgical debridement, wound management with soft tissue coverage if needed, and stable fracture fixation.
Keywords: Antibiotics; Debridement; Fracture fixation; Infection; Open fracture; Soft tissue coverage.
