The Impact of Time to Surgical Debridement on Infection Rates in Open Tibial Shaft Fractures Treated With Immediate Medullary Nailing
Smoking and type IIIB fractures were identified as significant predictors of infection following immediate medullary nailing of open tibial shaft fractures, whereas time to debridement, within the categorized time points, was not found to be a significant factor.
