The average time to debridement was significantly longer for DOTOR (12.9 hours) versus OCOR (5.4 hours). The DOTOR group was 9 times less likely to undergo debridement within 6 hours. The number of patients debrided within 24 hours was similar (90% for DOTOR vs. 96% OCOR). The rate of primary fracture union was significantly higher in the DOTOR (73.2% vs. 56.6%). OCOR patients were twice as likely to have an unplanned surgery. Rates of infection, nonunion, and amputation were similar.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Despite earlier access to the Operating room for debridement in the OCOR group, there was no difference in the infection rate compared with the DOTOR group. However, patients managed in the DOTOR group were more likely to go on to uncomplicated fracture union and less likely to have an unplanned surgery.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Therapeutic Level III.
