El cierre de la herida tras una fractura abierta constituye un reto para el cirujano puesto que está asociado a numerosas complicaciones como la necrosis, el síndrome compartimental secundario o la infección de la misma. Se han descrito gran cantidad de técnicas para defectos de cierre, aunque existe controversia sobre cuál es el método óptimo: la curación por segunda intención, el uso de injertos o colgajos, el cierre cutáneo progresivo, la terapia por presión negativa o una combinación de los anteriores. El uso de vessel loop en disposición de “cordón de zapato” es un método técnicamente sencillo, reproducible, económico y seguro para el cierre de este tipo de heridas.
Wound closure after an open fracture presents a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon due to its association with numerous complications such as necrosis, secondary compartment syndrome or infection. Although several techniques have been described, there is some controversy about what is the treatment of choice: healing by secondary intention, the use of skin grafts or flaps, progressive wound closure, negative pressure therapy or a combination of them. The use of vessel loop in a shoelace fashion is a reproducible, simple, economic technique and yet a safe method for closing this kind of wounds.
