Early definitive fracture fixation (EDFF) does not alter circulatory neutrophil activation status in physiologically restored polytrauma: a 72-h porcine observation study

Abstract Dysregulation of the cellular innate immune system, particularly involving leukocytes and mainly neutrophils, underlies post-traumatic inflammatory complications. Early definitive fracture fixation (EDFF) triggers immune activation and may exacerbate inflammatory complic...
