For the past 10 years, 267 of 340 cases of the fracture of the leg which have been treated were open.
7 cases of 267 became infectious. 2 cases from the other hospitals were also infectious. All of them were resistant to treatment.
4 cases, which were inserted a plate of screws immediately following the surgical cleansing, were explosively infected postoperatively.
Our therapeutic program excudes the immediate operation. The operation to the fracture, e. g. internal fixation with a plate or screws and bone graft, should be performed after the complete healing of the wound.
All cases had successfull union and normal function inspite of difficult treatment.
