Abstract:
Fractures of the extremities combined with soft tissue damage are still a big challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. Medical mismanagement leads very often to osteomyelitis and high treatment costs. Radical débridement is the key to therapy success. Closure of soft tissue lesions has to be done within 1 week. Methods of choice are vacuum sealing, meshgraft, flap transfer and the Ilisarov procedure. The chosen tool has to be harmonized with the fracture classification. Only individual decisions are possible. For the best results, orthopaedic surgeons should have a good knowledge of the reconstructive possibilities.

Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
