Abstract:

PURPOSE: Open lower extremity fractures represent a complex set of challenges for reconstructive surgeons, requiring close collaboration with orthopedic colleagues and a multidisciplinary approach for achieving long-term success. Though previous studies have demonstrated that limb salvage results in higher quality-of-life metrics and less expensive lifetime costs for patients as compared to amputation, peri-operative management of these patients varies greatly. Largely due to inadequacies in national diagnosis and procedure coding systems, analysis of multi-center peri-operative outcomes has been limited. The Nationwide Readmissions Database, which is based on the International Classification of Disease (ICD) coding system, provides a basis for understanding the burden of these injuries to the patient and the healthcare system
