Abstract

Objectives: Even under ideal conditions, infection remains a risk of surgery and can be harrowing after surgical repair of compound fractures. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and convenience of local antibiotic-impregnated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) strips to overcome infection and functional union within a specified time after primary definitive stabilization of compound fractures.
