• Highlights that a negative culture at initial debridement does not guarantee freedom from later deep infection, so intraoperative culture results alone shouldn't dictate the aggressiveness of debridement or wound management. • Supports early debridement of the degloving injury before or at the time of fracture fixation, since delaying debridement did not reduce culture positivity but an expanding hematoma can further compromise skin vascularity. • Cautions against primary closure over suction drains, given the case of chronic infection requiring multiple debridements — reinforcing an open-wound, repeat-debridement strategy in this setting.
