Treatment of infection with improved pulsed lavage
1the Second Hospital of Tangshan, Tangshan, China; yangzuoming@126.com.
Objective:
To develop a more effective surgical lavage technique to improve the efficacy of treatment for infections after a tibia/fibula fracture.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was performed on 46 patients who received pulsed lavage with a side-hole double-valve lavage tube in the Second Hospital of Tangshan, Tangshan, China. Patients with the same injury treated with conventional lavage techniques in the same period were used as controls. The lavage success rate and the infection cure rate were analyzed to evaluate this therapy.
Results:
All patients showed wound healing by first intention, and there was no recurrence during the follow-up period of > 12 months. Compared to the control group, the group that received pulsed lavage showed higher lavage success rates and cure rates.
Conclusion:
Pulsed lavage therapy with a side-hole double-valve lavage tube can improve the efficacy of treatment infections after tibia/fibula fractures and constitutes an effective modification to conventional lavage techniques. .
