Since Freidrich's 1898 guinea pig soft tissue contamination study, where bacteria replication rates were observed to increase exponentially after 6 hours, orthopaedic surgeons have followed the “New evidence continues to show that I&D of open fractures performed within 24 hours does not increase infectious complications.Similarly, a meta-analysis of 16 studies (6 prospective and 10 retrospective), including 3906 open fractures, showed no significant difference in overall Orthopaedic traumatologists are still more likely to take patients with contaminated wounds and higher degree of injury (type III) to surgery expeditiously, representing clinical decision-making.The question of optimal fluid type and irrigation pressure in the management of open fractures was answered by the Trial of Wound Irrigation in the Initial Management of The optimal volume of irrigation remains controversial, as current literature does not provide specific irrigation volume recommendations.Unlike the underlying bony injury, which is largely static, soft tissue injury evolves with time.

Gunshot wounds can be classified by velocity (low: 1000–2000 feet per second (fps) vs high: greater than 2000–3000 fps) or energy (dependent on projectile mass, velocity, and efficiency of energy transfer).Low-velocity gunshot wounds are treated conservatively with superficial irrigation, careful cleaning, and dressing, with or without antibiotics.Bullets that travel through joints can lead to bone, cartilage, ligaments, and menisci damage leading to complications like posttraumatic arthritis, joint sepsis, and chondrolysis.You may be trying to access this site from a secured browser on the server.

The patient had a prolonged extrication in a rural community and arrived at the level 1 trauma center at 4 hours warm ischemia time. However, the “six-hour rule” for initial open fracture debridement and revascularization has come into question.
