As the metal separated, he could see one openfracture of the femur.
2
He also has an openfracture on his arm.
3
The criteria of inclusion were openfracture and nonunion, delayed union or suspicion of delayed union.
4
I landed with an openfracture.
5
What that looks like is what we would call an openfracture, meaning you can see the bone through the injury.
6
These injuries sometimes occur as openfractures with poor soft tissue condition and bone defect adjacent to osteochondral fragment.
7
Some criteria such as openfractures and increasing open stage are known to be associated with high delayed union and pseudarthrosis rate.
8
The pathogenesis of non-unions is not always clear, although implant-associated infections play a significant role, especially after surgical treatment of openfractures.
9
Muscle damage and muscular atrophy associated with openfractures and subsequent fixation are not beneficial to maintaining optimum conditions for mechanical stability.
10
Osteomyelitis can result from a variety of etiologies but most often is a consequence of trauma ( openfractures) to a long bone.
11
Even though treatment protocols of openfractures have been improved in the past two decades, osteitis is still a major complication in these injuries.
12
High-energy injuries resulted in more severe distal femur fracture types and significantly greater rate of openfractures (19.8% of all fractures, p = 0.0001).
