lower extremity trauma:
All reconstructions follow the dictum of a thorough debridement as a rule. Most secondary complications and infections can be avoided if the wound is thoroughly explored and debrided at the first setting, giving the surgeon a perspective of the tissue losses and extent and nature if injuries. This may be in conjunction with orthopedic surgeons in cases of associated long bone fractures.
