Plain English Summary
In severe lower-limb trauma, the combined primary outcome of infection or necrosis was not significantly reduced. Tissue necrosis and some later complications were lower with HBOT.
Limitations & context: The study involved open tibial fractures and severe soft-tissue trauma. Secondary benefits should be interpreted alongside the nonsignificant primary outcome.
