title: [Clinical observation on the influence of earthquake crush injury on postoperative wound healing of extremity fractures].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the influence of earthquake crush injury on postoperative wound healing of extremity fractures.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study involved 85 patients with extremities fracture underwent internal fixation operation in 3 group, including 28 earthquake casualties with crush injuries in observation group, 27 earthquake casualties without crush injuries in control I group and 30 local patients during the same period in control II group. Urine routine, blood creatine kinase (CK) and wound conditions of patients in 3 groups were observed respectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was no significant difference in Urine routine and blood CK between 3 groups and was significant difference in wound conditions between observation group and each control group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Earthquake crush injuries can influence the postoperative wound healing of extremity fractures.
