To The Editor:We would like to comment on the article entitled, "Comparison of Soap
and Antibiotic Solutions for Irrigation of Lower-Limb Open Fracture Wounds. A
Prospective, Randomized Study" (2005;87:1415-22), by Anglen. First, we
would like to congratulate the author for this excellent prospective,
randomized study. The author even stratified the confounding variables, such
as the grade of open injury, before randomizing. Hence, we think that this
article provides important scientific evidence regarding the wound irrigation
of open fractures. However, we would like to ask the author to clarify some
areas in the article so that readers will acquire even more valuable
information.
