• Resumen

  • According to this study:

    * Reoperation rates are similar regardless of the pressure used to irrigate open wound fractures.

    * Very low pressure is an acceptable option in open fracture wound irrigation.

    * Normal saline alone is superior to a solution of castile soap with normal saline for routine irrigation of acute open fractures.
