Fractures (complex): assessment and management

Temporary dressings for up to 72 hours between wound excision and definitive soft tissue cover: What is the most clinically and cost effective temporary (up to 72 hours) dressing (including negative pressure dressings) for open fractures after wound excision for:

- minimising the number of dressing changes or supplementary dressings

- minimising the number of associated bedding changes

- acceptability for patients, for example, in terms of minimising pain

- minimising nursing time.

Cystourethrogram: How accurate is the first CT scan with contrast (trauma scan) for detecting bladder injuries in people with suspected bladder injuries after a traumatic incident?

Pilon fractures: In adults with closed pilon fractures, what method of fixation provides the best clinical and cost effectiveness outcomes as assessed by function and incidence of major complications at 2 years (stratified for timing of definitive surgery early [under 36 hours] versus later [over 36 hours])?
