Abstract
The article presents a case study of an 18-year-old man who acquired a soft tissue infection with Clostridium subterminale after suffering from an open fracture that occurred during a soccer game. He had suffered from fractures in his right forearm and on both the proximal ulna and the radius, which were addressed with medical procedures to sustain the fracture. After 11 days of medication, symptoms of C. subterminale began to emerge, and diagnosis and treatment procedures were administered.
