Open fractures ppt
1. Open Fractures and BOAST
Guidelines
“Most open tibial/ femoral fractures are caused
by high impact trauma, so the potential for
concomitant life-threatening injury should be
ruled out before addressing traumatic limb
injury”
2. The classification of such soft-
tissue wounding is according
to two systems, namely that
of Gustilo, Mendoza &
Williams (See: Gustilo RB,
Mendoza RM, Williams DN
(1984) Problems in the
management of type III
(severe) open fractures
In 1895, Stanley Boyd said
“The most important
divisions of fractures -
simple, compound and
complicated - are based
upon the condition of the
soft parts.”

13. Epidemiology
Diaphyseal fractures are more common than metaphyseal
fractures
Highest rates of diaphyseal fractures were seen in:
• Tibia 21.6%
• Femur 12.1%
• Radius and Ulna 9.3%
• Humerus 5.7%
EFORT Open ReviewsVolume 3, Issue 5, May 2018, Pages 316-325
https://doi.org/10.1302/2058-5241.3.170072
Annual incidence of 3.4 per 100 000
The mean age of those who sustain open tibial fractures is 43.3
years, most frequently occurring in young adult males and
elderly females.
High energy trauma is the primary mechanism of injury, with
over 50% of cases being attributed to road traffic accidents or
falls from a great height
14. Microbiology
• Poor tissue oxygenation & devitalisation of the surrounding tissues
including the bone provide a perfect medium for infection and
bacterial multiplication
• When left open >2 weeks – Wound is prone to nosocomial infection
such as pseudomonas species and gram negative species
• This phenomenon of hospital acquired infection emphasizes the
importance of a strict protocol for in-hospital management and early
wound coverage
15.
16.
17. Choice of antibiotics
• BOAST guidelines
• Start within 3 hours and continue until debridement
• Co-Amoxiclav 1.2g TDS IV
• OR Cefuroxime 1.5g TDS IV
• OR Clindamycin 600mg QDS IV if penicillin allergic
• Stat dose at wound excision and continue for 72
hours or until wound closure whichever is sooner
• Co-amoxiclav 1.2g TDS IV and Gentamicin
1.5mg/Kg
18. Management in theatre
1. Aggressive debridement and irrigation
• Low pressure lavage using NaCl 0.9%. 3L, 6L or 9L
• Remove bone fragments without soft tissue
attachments
2. Fracture stabilisation – Internal or external
3. Staged debridement – every 24 to 48 hours
as needed
4. Early soft tissue coverage or wound closure
• Aim for less than 7 days to decrease risk of infection
5. Place antibiotic bead pouch in dirty wounds
34. “Mangled” refers to a
limb in which three of
the four functional
components (bone,
vessels, nerves, and soft
tissue) are injured
35. Take home message
• IV Antibiotics within 3 hours of injury and continue for 72 hours or
until closure
• Serial neurovascular examinations
• Vascular repair ≤6 hours
• Multidisciplinary team (Plastics and Orthopaedics) to treat complex
open fractures
• Wound is handled to remove gross contamination and allow
photography cover with saline soaked gauze and impermeable film
• Early transfer of patients to specialised centres
• Definitive stabilisation and wound clover within 72 hours and not
exceed 7 days
