- unasyn : for DM
- cloxacillin :
- c. penicillin :
- tazocin :
- wound irrigation and debridement
- stabilization - or immobilization : external fixation/ skeletal traction
- wound closure - dressing, 2ndary wound closure
- complication:
- mal union
- nonunion
- OM
- infected non union
- closed fracture
- internal fixation
- pop
- indication of External Fixation
- open fracture
- infected non union
