Abstract
Introduction: In the today’s world with faster ways of transportation high velocity accidents and the compound fracture are increasing day by day producing a challenge preventing post operative wound infections after internal fixation of fracture.
 Materials and Methods: 50 patients of compound fractures were included in the study and were randomly divided in 2 groups of 25 each . Both the groups undergone internal fixation with stainless steel implant and one group wound is closed with gentamicin loaded collagen in it and other group without it
 Method: In both the groups same process of and lavage is used and fractures were fixed internally fixed . A group has 25 patients in which after internal fixation the gentamicin loaded collagen is placed inside and in B group after internal fixation wound is closed without gentamicin loaded collagen.
 Results: In group A where Gentamicin loaded collagen was placed wound infection was there in 2 patients . In Group B were no gentamicin loaded collagen was used 9 patietns has infections. P value 0.0275
 Discussion: After surgery wound is assessed for post operative infection on 2 nd post op day 14 day at 4 weeks 6 weeks 3 months and 6 months
 Conclusion: The Author believe that use of gentamicin loaded collagen significantly reducing the chance of infection in compound fractures surgeries.
 Keywords: compound fracture, gentamicin loaded collagen, post operative infection
Highlights
In the todays world as the traffic and transportation is getting fast day by day the frequency of compound fractures is increasing and is looking at the rate with traffic is getting busy the load of compound fractures will be in raising trend in future as well
Present study is to evaluate the effect of gentamicin loaded collagen on post operative infections in compound fracture internal fixation
All fracture had International Journal of Medical Science and Diagnosis Research occurred due to RTA .The study was conducted after ethical committee clearence of the institution
Summary
In the todays world as the traffic and transportation is getting fast day by day the frequency of compound fractures is increasing and is looking at the rate with traffic is getting busy the load of compound fractures will be in raising trend in future as well. The compound fracture fixation will increase in which there is a potential chance of infection is there in every case which is nightmare for any orthopaedic surgeon. Page after a thorough debridement and lavage changes of infection are very high. Present study is to evaluate the effect of gentamicin loaded collagen on post operative infections in compound fracture internal fixation
