Open fractures are complex injury that involve both, the bone and surrounding tissues. Management goals are prevention of
infection, union of fracture and restoration of function. Achievement of these goals requires a careful approach based on detailed
assessment of the patient and injury. The classification of open fracture is based on type of fracture, associated soft tissue injury and
bacterial contamination present, tetanus prophylaxis and intravenous antibiotics administration is a useful adjunct. The open fracture
wound should be thoroughly irrigated and debrided, although the optimal method of irrigation remains uncertain. Controversy also
exists regarding the optimal timing and technique of wound closure. Extensive soft-tissue damage may necessitate the use of local
or free muscle flap. Techniques of fracture stabilization depend on the anatomic location of the fracture and characteristics of injury.
