An open fracture is diagnosed where there is communication between the fracture fragments and the external environment. These fractures occur when sharp bone fragments penetrate the skin or when a traumatic injury causes damage to the skin and soft tissues resulting in exposure of the fracture site. This chapter looks at open fracture management; shearing injuries; prognosis.
