The prevention of infection in open fractures: an experimental study of the effects of fracture stability and of antibiotic therapy

An experimental model of a contaminated open fracture has been developed in rabbits, using a reproducible midshaft fracture of the tibia. This model has been used to: 1) Test the hypothesis that stable fixation of an open fracture will reduce its susceptibility to infection. 2) Assess the effect...
