title: [Treatment of open war injuries of the limbs in Ethiopia during the 3-year period with regard to 2 cases where a big part of the ulnar bone was missing].
abstract: I. When a patient with open compound fracture arrives at the hospital he should be given 1500 u TAT, 25000 u Serum Antigangrenosum, one million Penicillin and one gram of Streptomycin, provided that these were not given before. II. Immediate operation of the cases with injury of less than six-eight hours duration is a must here. But still it must not be forgotten that those with shoc need to be left aside for primary treatment of the shoc before they are due for operation. Debridement of the wound should be done perfectly before starting to indulage one self with the operation. Any operation of this kind is not complete if the torn or nut nerves and tendons are primarily sutured after refreshing their ends. If necessary, plastic of the skin should be accomplished at the same time. III. We must be very considerate in dealing with bones. Bones that look dirty should be cleaned by spoon curretage rather than resecting them and facing shortage in bone. Shertage of small length of bone, can be substituted by bone grafting with either method of sliding or transplanting from one bone to another. IV. Up to the time that infection can be controlled, the primary sutture should be postponed and the only cautious debridement must be done. V. Post operative antibiotic treatment should extend from seven to ten days.
