Surgical treatment of fresh open fractures of the extremities. N. Godard (Revue de chir., 1927, No. 9)

Abstract

The author had 75 cases of open fractures, in 15 of which primary amputation was performed due to contusions of the musculoskeletal apparatus and, most importantly, the neurovascular bundle, while in the remaining 60 cases early surgery was performed (within the first 5-6 hours), which consisted of simple repositioning of fragments and blind suture of soft parts after excision of the disarticulated tissues. Where the fragments could not be repositioned, they were connected either by wire or Lambott plates.
