Primary and Delayed Primary Wound Closure in Low Energy Open Tibia Shaft Fracture: Randomized Controlled Study.
Primary wound closure for low-energy open tibia shaft fractures is both more cost-effective and associated with a shorter time to wound healing compared to delayed primary closure. Therefore, primary wound closure should be used for low energy tibia shaft fracture even in low and middle-income countries. KEY WORDS: Open fracture, Tibia shaft, Wound closure, Management.
