Classification
- Type I: single penetration with out extensive soft tissue damage
- Type II: Single or multiple penetrations with extensive soft tissue distruptions (flapsm avulsions, or degloving)
- Type III: open periarticular fractures with extension through the adjacent intraarticular surface
- Type IV: open dislocations or those with associated nerve or vascular injury requiring repair
Management
- Perioperative antibiotics until 24 to 48 hours postoperative
- No specific risk factors: cefazolin
- MRSA likely: vancomycin
- Extensive soft-tissue injury: add gram-negative coverage (ceftriaxone, aminoglycoside, etc)
- Fecal contamination: add high-dose penicillin (for Clostridium)
- Seawater contamination: add doxycycline (for Vibrio vulnificus)
