Abstract
A retrospective study was performed on 33 patients who sustained isolated open-fracture injuries to the foot and ankle. A wide variety of open-fracture injuries of the foot and ankle are documented. Of the 33 cases, only 2 became clinically infected, translating into an infection rate of 6.06%. A literature review of open-fracture injuries is presented along with the preliminary results of the retrospective study.Entities:
