{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>This study aims to evaluate outcomes of using Adjuvant Local Antibiotic Hydroxyapatite Bio-Composite in management of Open Gustilo-Anderson IIIB Fractures.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>80 patients were managed with single-stage "Fix and Flap" along with intra-operative Adjuvant Local Antibiotic Bio-Composite. Successful fracture union was achieved in 96.1% of patients, with a limb salvage rate of 96.25%. Infection rate was only 1.25%.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>High union rate and very low deep infection rate can be predictably achieved in complex Open Gustilo-Anderson IIIB fractures by meticulous technique, use of local adjunctive antibiotics bio-composite and a combined ortho-plastic approach.
