Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) is a non-invasive, active wound management system that exposes a wound bed to local sub atmospheric pressure, removes fluid from the extravascular space, improves circulation, and enhances the proliferation of granulation tissue. The purpose of this study is to know the rate of wound infection, number of days required for making the wound fit for skin cover procedures, number of days required for formation of uniform granulation tissue bed in the wound healing treated by Vacuum Assisted Closure after primary fixation of fracture.
