Abstract
Open fractures continue to be a challenging clinical problem throughout the world, and Japan is no exception. Surgeons are faced with critical decisions throughout the care of these injuries that can have significant effects in clinical outcome, ranging from the type and timing of antibiotic administration, fixation, soft-tissue management, and interventions for postfracture complications. In October 2022, the Japanese Society for Fracture Repair (JSFR) was invited to represent Japan as the Guest Nation society at the 38th Annual Meeting of the Orthopaedic Trauma Society held in Tampa, Florida. The JSFR organized a symposium, entitled "Management of Open Fracture and related complications-the Japanese way," that featured cutting-edge approaches to open fractures in their country, including presentations on the "fix-and-flap" approach, local antibiotics perfusion delivery, and a "chipping" method for the stimulation of bone healing. This article summarizes the content of these 3 presentations from that symposium.
