ABSTRACT
CASE A 17-year-old boy presented with an open talus fracture complicated by soot contamination after a chimney-related accident. Standard irrigation and debridement (I&D) methods were used, but complete removal of soot was not possible. At the latest follow-up, there was no evidence of infection, hardware failure, or avascular necrosis. CONCLUSION:
There is a lack of well-established guidelines regarding I&D of traumatic wounds contaminated with fine particulates. A review of potential debridement methods is discussed. Orthoapedic surgeons should be aware of hydrosurgical debridement as a potential treatment approach in these unique scenarios.
