Abstract
Of 216 compound depressed fractures of the skull seen between the years 1974–1978, nine (4%) became infected. This is significantly less than the 10% found in previous years. Efforts are being intensified to train primary surgeons, stressing the importance of immediate referral and early treatment.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
