Orthoplastic Management of Lower Limb Traumas
This is the first study comparing the effectiveness of the orthoplastic approach between isolated lower limb fractures and polytraumas. According to our study, open lower limb fracture management is paradoxically more effective in polytraumas rather than in isolated injuries because a multidisciplinary approach is mandatory in severely injured and compromised patients.
