Early Antibiotic Administration Is Associated with a Reduced Infection Risk When Combined with Primary Wound Closure in Patients with Open Tibia Fractures

David A. Zuelzer et al.

Summary: Early administration of antibiotics and wound closure can decrease infection risk in patients with open tibia fractures. However, there are no specific demographic factors associated with increased risk of deep infection in patients treated with primary wound closure for Types 1, 2, and 3A open tibia fractures.

Timing of Flap Coverage With Respect to Definitive Fixation in Open Tibia Fractures

Casey Kuripla et al.

Summary: The time delay between definitive fixation and flap coverage is the most predictive factor for subsequent wound infection in Gustilo type III tibial fractures. Temporary internal fixation is not associated with increased infection risk, while flap failure poses the highest risk of infection.
