The application of damage control treatment with external fixators in the traumatic orthopedics repair
Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of damage control treatment with external fixators in the traumat -ic orthopedics repair .Methods Ninety-two patients with traumatic femoral fracture treated in our hospital′s depart-ment of orthopedics from January 2011 to December 2012 were randomly divided into two groups .Forty-six patients in the control group received the primary open reduction and internal fixation , while the other 46 patients in the observa-tion group received the first phase of external fixation .After the patients′conditions became stable , the observation group received the sencondary open reduction .Comparison was carried out on the indicators such as the operation time, the incision length, the fracture healing time, the lactic acid duration, the clotting recovery time and so on be-tween the two groups .Results The operation time , the incision length , the fracture healing time , the lactic acid du-ration and the clotting recovery time of the observation group were remarkably shorter than those of the control group ( P<0.01 ) .Conclusion The effects of damage control treatment with external fixators are good in the traumatic or-thopedics repair and therefore this kind of treatment is worth popularization in clinical use .
