Grade IIIa/b open tibial fractures (OTF) result mostly following high energy trauma and may be accompanied by significant associated injuries. Aim of this study was to compare the characteristics and the outcome of OTF between patients of different injury severities. Retrospective analysis of the records of patients admitted to a level I centre in a 4 year period with an OTF. Epidemiologic data, AO-ASIF classification, method of treatment, complication rates and time to fracture-union have been statistically analysed. An AIS98-ISS threshold (ISS 16) was used to separate OTF in 2 groups (A<16, B>16).Introduction
