The authors call attention to the work of Trueta on open fractures and to the fact that, even today, his principles are followed all over the world. Today, such fractures are immobilized with external skeletal fixation instead of plaster casts. The results are presented of 71 patients with severe open fractures of the tibia who were treated by external

This article reviews current concepts in treating open fractures along with case studies to illustrate specific treatment procedures. It should be used as a basis for care and provide the fundamentals to successfully treat patients in a trauma setting. The practitioner will find this a challenging and exciting area for professional practice.

Open pelvic fracture is a devastating injury with a reported 50% mortality rate from massive bleeding and pelvic sepsis. Utilizing a graded approach to management of hemorrhage that included wound packing, anti-shock trousers, angiographic embolization, and hemipelvectomy, we controlled bleeding in all but one of the 35 patients in this series ...

Open fractures still represent a major challenge for the treating surgeon and frequently demand a complex of soft tissue and bone procedures to achieve an undisturbed healing with adequate limb function. However, despite improvement in operative techniques and antibiotic therapy septic complications still occur in severe open fracture forms up to 50 ...

We retrospectively reviewed 57 open patella fractures treated at our institution between 1976 and 1989. Forty-four patients with 47 fractures (cases) were available for follow-up a mean of 9.4 years after injury (range 2.2-15.7). High-energy vehicular trauma was the cause of injury in > 90% of cases.

Postgraduate Medicine, 1985Meticulous care of open wounds in open fractures is essential to prevent development of infection. Wounds should be treated by early excision and early delayed or secondary closure. Primary closure is not necessarily beneficial and can actually increase the risk of infection.

Thirty-one of 738 patients with pelvic fracture (1970--1978) had open pelvic fractures. Eight per cent of all pelvic fractures due to pedestrian accidents and 12.5% due to motorcycle accidents were open. The mortality for open pelvic fractures was 42% compared with 10.3% for closed pelvic fractures.

Most open fractures in children result from motor-vehicle accidents (including those in which the child is an occupant of the motor vehicle or is struck by an automobile while riding a bicycle or as a pedestrian) or falls from heights. The reported demographics and injury mechanisms have varied widely from center to center.

Open calcaneal fractures can be managed with an array of treatment techniques and result in a wide range of outcomes. Due to the fracture's relative obscurity, the optimal form of intervention remains controversial. Consequently, treatment for these hindfoot fracture-disruptions continues to evolve.
