Abstract：Objective To observe the clinical effect of one-stage pulse pressure flushing and vacuum sealing drainage ( VSD) combined with locking compression plate( LCP) internal fixation on the treatment of open tibia and fibula fractures. Methods The clinical data of 45 patients with open tibia and fibula fractures received treatment in our hospital from June 2009 to June 2015. All the patients underwent the one-stage surgery of pulse flushing and VSD combined with LCP internal fixation. The postoperative healing of fracture and wound efficacy were observed. Results Totally 40 in 45 cases of patients got follow-up for average 14 months( range 3-48 months) . The limb function recovery was satisfied. All the wounds and frac-tures healed well. No severe complications such as deep infection or bone nonunion was observed. Conclusion For the pa-tients with open tibia and fibula fractures,the one-stage surgery of pulse flushing and VSD combined with LCP internal fixa-tion may result in satisfactory effects on the condition of reasonable operation indications. This is a safe and effective treat-ment protocol.
