Bony stability in open fractures helps associated soft tissue wounds to recover by providing the best possible setting for soft tissue healing and resistance to infection. See Worlock P Slack R Harvey L Mawhinney R. 1994 The prevention of infection in open fractures an experimental study of the effect of fracture stability. Injury 25 1
Most extravasation injuries are Grades 1 2 and do not require extensive intervention to prevent long term skin and soft tissue damage Grade 3 4 injuries have a greater potential for skin necrosis compartment syndrome and the potential need for plastic surgery involvement depending on the type and volume of solution extravasated.
A necrotizing soft tissue infection is a serious life threatening condition that requires immediate treatment to keep it from destroying skin muscle and other soft tissues.

Feb 28 2018 The best compliment to a true injury prevention plan is a healthy diet consisting of whole foods with adequate amounts of the macronutrients protein fat and carbohydrates. A poor diet that is high in processed foods and sugar can contribute to muscle weakness and decreased cardiovascular endurance.
Peripheral intravenous cannulae PIVC provide direct access to the patient’s bloodstream and therefore pose a serious risk for infection from microorganisms introduced either at the time of insertion or while the cannula is in situ. PIVC related against recommended infection prevention strategies for the management of PIVC.
Serious injuries to skin and tissues such as from burns frostbite trauma e.g. resulting in a crushed or squeezed body part These injuries cause loss of blood to the area tissue damage and increased risk of infection.
