Open limb fractures are commonly encountered as part of our daily practice. They are often complex injuries to manage and require a multidisciplinary team due to the musculoskeletal and associated soft-tissue injuries (1-3). The annual incidence of open fractures of long bones is 11.5 per 100,000 persons per year with 40% of them occur in the Lower Limb (LL) (4,5). Several classification systems have been used to grade the extent of injury and helped define the contemporary approach to the…
