A retrospective analysis was conducted of 37 open fracture cases sustained by U.S. military personnel during the recent low-intensity conflict in Panama (Operation Just Cause). The etiology, location, classification, and management of open fractures sustained in combat is presented. A significant difference was noted in the infection rate for type III open fractures that were debrided in Panama (22%) as compared to those that were debrided only after transport to CONUS (66%). This study supports the critical importance of adequate battlefield surgical support in low-intensity conflicts, and reemphasizes the crucial role of early surgical debridement for the prevention of wound infection.
