OPEN TIBIAL FRACTURES: HAS A MAJOR TRAUMA CENTRE IMPROVED MANAGEMENT MEASURED BY BOAST-4 GUIDELINES?
Full Access
Open fractures are managed in the UK guided by standards issued by the BOAST-4 standards. A study was undertaken to evaluate compliance with these standards in a regional trauma unit (MTU), and compared following upgrading to a Major Trauma Centre (MTC). Compliance was assessed against 11 of the 15 BOAST-4 standards (7, 9, 10 and 15 were not assessed). Patients were included with open diaphyseal tibial fractures (AO 42-), admitted to the department in the year before and the year after the Major Trauma Centre opened.Introduction
