    Study Notes

    Open Fracture Complications

    • Infection: most common complication, occurs in 2-16% of cases
      • Risk factors: severity of injury, delay in treatment, inadequate debridement
    • Nerve damage: 10-20% of cases, especially in upper extremity fractures
    • Vascular injury: 1-5% of cases, can lead to limb ischemia and amputation
    • Compartment syndrome: 1-5% of cases, can lead to permanent nerve damage and muscle necrosis
    • Non-union: 10-20% of cases, can lead to chronic pain and disability
    • Arthritis: 10-20% of cases, can lead to chronic pain and decreased mobility

    Treatment Options

    • Debridement: removal of dead tissue and foreign particles to prevent infection
    • Antibiotic therapy: used to prevent and treat infection
    • Fracture stabilization: used to maintain bone alignment and promote healing
      • Internal fixation: plates, screws, and rods
      • External fixation: pins and frames
    • Soft tissue management: used to promote wound healing and skin coverage
      • Skin grafting
      • Flap reconstruction
    • Amputation: in severe cases, may be necessary to prevent further complications

    Classification

    • Gustilo-Anderson classification: based on severity of soft tissue injury
      • Type I: low-energy fracture, minimal soft tissue injury
      • Type II: moderate-energy fracture, moderate soft tissue injury
      • Type III: high-energy fracture, extensive soft tissue injury
    • Tscherne classification: based on severity of soft tissue and bone injury
      • Grade 0: low-energy fracture, minimal soft tissue injury
      • Grade 1: moderate-energy fracture, moderate soft tissue injury
      • Grade 2: high-energy fracture, extensive soft tissue injury
      • Grade 3: severe fracture, severe soft tissue injury and bone damage

    Rehabilitation

    • Early mobilization: important for preventing stiffness and promoting healing
    • Range of motion exercises: used to maintain joint mobility and prevent contractures
    • Strengthening exercises: used to improve muscle strength and function
    • Gait training: used to improve ambulation and prevent complications
    • Pain management: used to manage chronic pain and promote functional recovery

    Emergency Care

    • Initial assessment: ABCDE (airway, breathing, circulation, disability, exposure) protocol
    • Wound management: immediate debridement and dressing to prevent infection
    • Fracture stabilization: temporary stabilization to prevent further injury
    • Pain management: used to manage acute pain and promote comfort
    • Transportation: urgent transportation to a trauma center for definitive care
