- The British Orthopaedic Association recommends surgical debridement for pediatric Gustilo-Anderson type I upper limb open fractures, but evidence for its benefits is limited due to low infection rates in these cases.
- A systematic review was conducted, focusing on patients under 18 with type I fractures treated either with antibiotics alone or surgical debridement, excluding those requiring stabilization.
- Results showed that both treatment methods had low infection rates (0.3% for non-operative and 0.4% for operative), indicating that surgical debridement may not be necessary, and treatment should be tailored based on individual patient factors.
Aims: To determine whether obesity and malnutrition have a synergistic effect on outcomes from skeletal trauma or elective orthopaedic surgery.
Methods: Electronic databases including MEDLINE, Global Health, Embase, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and PEDRo were searched up to 14 April 2024, as well as conference proceedings and the reference lists of included studies. Studies were appraised using tools according to study design, including the Oxford Levels of Evidence, the Institute of Health Economics case series quality appraisal checklist, and the CLARITY checklist for cohort studies.
