External fixation and infection of soft tissues close to fracture localization
We evaluated the method of external fixation for stabilization of unstable closed and open first-degree diaphyseal fractures of long bones of lower extremities in 19 patients with infections of soft tissues close to the fracture location. The results are compared with those of another group (n = 392...

| description | We evaluated the method of external fixation for stabilization of unstable closed and open first-degree diaphyseal fractures of long bones of lower extremities in 19 patients with infections of soft tissues close to the fracture location. The results are compared with those of another group (n = 392) of patients, with similar fractures without infections close to the fracture site, treated with inner stabilization methods. In the first group of patients, we noticed postoperative osteitis of the tibia in two cases (10%), but no pseudarthrosis or lesions of important blood vessels. In the second group of patients, the incidence of postoperative osteitis was 8.6% (n = 34) and the incidence of pseudarthrosis was 2% (n = 8). Among these patients, three lesions of important blood vessels were diagnosed. Our conclusion is that when the method of external fixation is used in combination with skillful operative techniques, the infection of soft tissues near the fracture location has no principal influence on the frequency of osteitis. |
