Debridement and Closure of Soft Tissue Injuries

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Tutorials in Suturing Techniques for Orthopedics

Abstract

This chapter introduces the characteristics and mechanism of different soft tissue injuries and briefly demonstrates that for open soft tissue injuries, thorough debridement, and removal and closure of the wound are effective to ensure first-stage wound healing. The appropriate suturing technique can not only prevent infection and promote wound healing, but also reduce systemic trauma reaction and accelerate limb function recovery.
