The aim of the therapy in open tibial fractures grade III was to cover the bone with soft tissue and achieve healed fracture without persistent infection. Open tibial fractures grade IIIC with massive soft tissue damage require combined orthopaedic, vascular and plastic-reconstructive procedures. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), used in two consecutive cases with open fracture grade IIIC of the tibia diaphysis, healed extensive soft tissue defect with exposure of the bone. NPWT eventually allowed for wound closure by split skin graft within 21-25 days. Ilizarov external fixator combined with application of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-7 at the site of delayed union enhanced definitive bone healing within 16-18 months.
III级开放性胫骨骨折的治疗目的是用软组织覆盖骨骼并实现骨折愈合且无持续性感染。伴有大面积软组织损伤的IIIC级开放性胫骨骨折需要联合骨科、血管和整形重建手术。负压伤口治疗(NPWT)应用于两例连续性胫骨干IIIC级开放性骨折患者,治愈了伴有骨外露的大面积软组织缺损。NPWT最终使得在21至25天内通过植皮实现伤口闭合。Ilizarov外固定器结合在骨不连部位应用重组人骨形态发生蛋白-7,在16至18个月内促进了确定性骨愈合。
