Prevention of Surgical Site Infection in Gustilo‐Anderson Open Type IIIA and IIIB Fractures Using Antibiotic Laden Bio‐Absorbable Calcium Sulfate Granules an Observational Study
Open fractures are associated with a high infection rate and varying degrees of soft tissue and bone loss. Local antibiotics delivered through a carrier can provide high concentration of antibiotics locally at the wound site with minimal systemic toxicity. Calcium sulfate is a bio‐absorbable bone graft substitute that can also act as anosteoconductive material to hasten bone healing. This study aims to evaluate the outcome of antibiotic‐laden calcium sulfate gra...
