Following is a phtograph of froearm of 43 years old male who was operated for fracture in ulnar bone and in postoperative period got infected.
The infection was controlled with help of debridement and antibiotics as per his available records and the plate got exposed.
Exposed Plate In Ulna
The photograph reveals quite well the exposed ulna and the plate. An area in the middle shows the fracture line and the surrounding bone is devoid of any tissue cover.
The patient has presented to the OPD only one time and failed to follow up.
Note: This kind of problem is quite complex and because the fracture has not united, the situation is one of the difficult situations faced in the orthopedics.
The treatment requires control of any lingering infection, thorough debridement, a flap surgery to provide cover to the bone and if required removal of present implant & temporary fixation which is to be followed by definite fixation and bone grafting at a second stage.
Treatment as always needs to be individualized.
