Timing of Fracture Fixation in Multitrauma Patients: The Role of Early Total Care and Damage Control Surgery
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 09/03/09
Pape HC et al. – There are advantages to early definitive surgery for most patients. Early temporary fixation using external fixators, followed by definitive fixation, may increase the chance for survival in a subset of patients with severe multisystem injuries. Improved understanding of the pathophysiology of trauma has led to a greater ability to identify patients who would benefit from damage control surgery.
