fracture
[Fracture or Dislocation]

IIIA
7% incidence of infection
[Gustilo Classification]
severe loss of coverage which will require reconstruction for coverage of soft tissue
moderate to severe comminution of bone; poor soft tissue coverage
Type IIIB
What is the DOC for Gustilo Type 1?

What is the DOC for Gustilo Type II?
1st generation cephalosporin (Cefazolin) PLUS
Aminoglycoside
What is the DOC for Gustilo Type III?
1st generation cephalosporin (Cefazolin) PLUS
Aminoglycoside PLUS
Penicillin or Metrondazole
What are the indications for immediate amputation
- Nonviable limb
- Limb remains severely damaged even after attempted revascularization
- Limb is a threat to patient’s life
- Severity of injury demands repeated surgical procedures that may not be compatible with patient’s goald
- Expected post salvage function will not justify salvaging the limb
What is the definition of a nonviable limb
irreparable vascular injury with warm ischemia time >8 hours

What is the most common type of glenohumeral joint dislocation? (anterior/posterior)
Anterior
What is the most common complication of glenohumeral joint dislocation?
Redislocation
What is the most important risk factor for the recurrence of glenohumeral joint dislocation?
