Abstract
An open fracture is a complex, combined form of injury with damage to the skin, soft tissue and skeleton, sometimes to blood vessels and nerves. All of the injured tissues are permeated by a common wound canal, which is a site of entry for various germs. Open fractures account for 8-10% of all injuries. These injuries often require amputation to save the victim's life.
