Introduction

Management of open fractures is challenging and requires a multidisciplinary team approach. Gustilo Anderson Type IIIB fractures reportedly have a higher infection rate (up to 52%) and up to 16% amputation rate. This study aims to evaluate outcomes of using Adjuvant Local Antibiotic Hydroxyapatite Bio-Composite in management of Open Gustilo-Anderson IIIB fractures.

Materials and Methods

We reviewed a prospective data of 80 patients who presented with Gustilo Anderson Type IIIB Open Fracture to a single ortho-plastic centre. Only patients who were managed with single-stage “Fix and Flap” along with intra-operative Adjuvant Local Antibiotic Bio-Composite were included.
