Fracture Management Journal

An open fracture is an injury where the fractured bone and/or fracture hematoma are exposed to the external environment via a traumatic violation of the soft tissue and skin. The skin wound might prevarication at a site distant to the fracture and not immediately finished it. Therefore, any fracture that has a concomitant wound should be considered open until proven otherwise. Open fractures occur secondary to trauma. They most commonly occur as high-energy injuries, but can also be a result of low-velocity trauma when the sharp ends of the fracture fragments pierce through the skin and soft tissue. High-energy, open fractures are often associated with other life-threatening conditions secondary to poly-trauma and pose other risks such as neurovascular injuries, soft tissue crushing wound contamination and skin delving which makes them more likely to have complications.
