Septic Management and Outcome of Open Fracture

Overview

The aim is the study of the management and outcome of the open fractures. Some open fractures will become pseudarthrosis. Thoses pseudarthrosis may be septic or not. The management and evolution of all the open fractures will be described in order to identify the presence or not of a sepsis and then a development of a pseudarthrosis (septic or non septic).
