Abstract:
This article reviews 850 cases of open fractures of the extremities caused by high velocity missiles and shell fragments, and treated by two varieties of external fixation devices. If a protocol for grading the severity of injury is followed, the results encourage avoiding sophisticated, expensive, and overdesigned external fixation systems.
