“…A hipotensão gerada por fraturas graves, com extensa lesão das partes moles e tempo de exposição maior do que seis horas, gera diminuição considerável da perfusão sanguínea dos músculos e ossos, com queda conseqüente da oxigenação e aporte insuficiente de antimicrobianos mesmo quando utilizados em doses adequadas. Esta redução do aporte associada à fagocitose reduzida inerente dos traumas agudos, cria condições altamente favoráveis para a multiplicação bacteriana (19) .…”

“…The hypotension generated by severe fractures with an extense injury of soft parts and the exposure time longer than six hours, leads to a considerable decrease of blood perfusion in muscles and bones besides a consequent oxygenation drop and insufficient intake of antimicrobials even when they are used in adequate doses. This intake decrease associated with the decreased phagocytosis common in acute traumas, affords highly favorable conditions to the bacterial growth (19) .…”

“…Also in 1990, Kaltenecker et al reviewed the care of 91 open Gustilo Grade I or II fractures of the tibia (n ϭ 66) and femur (n ϭ 25) treated with interlocking nails [72]. The rate of infection was low (1.2%), as expected in Grade I/II fractures.…”

“…Intramedullary nailing of the tibia as a treatment of diaphyseal tibial fractures has been shown to produce excellent results [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] with low rates of nonunion, malunion, joint stiffness, and infection when compared to alternative treatment.…”
