Open fractures management has always been one of the main challenges in traumatologic surgery: definition of the most appropriate therapeutic protocol is a research and debate topic. Infectious risk minimisation, soft-tissue damage resolution, fracture reduction and fixation are the main objectives in order to recover anatomical and functional integrity of the involved district. Management protocols are characterized by the contrast between an early total care approach and a gradual damage control approach. Gustilo-Anderson classification is still the most widely used in order to set open fractures management, but its limitations have led to the development of other important classifications. This article, through a literature review, aims at summarising main classifications and state of the art on open fractures treatment and at highlighting latest protocols and technical solutions adopted: negative wound pression therapy, antibacterial coated nails and other innovative devices.
