This book is designed to meet the continued need to re-learn the principles of treatment of complex war injuries to the extremities in order to minimize complications and optimize functional recovery. It is based on unique experience in the treatment of military personnel and civilian victims of terror attacks at a large level 1 trauma center. A staged treatment protocol is presented, ranging from primary damage control through to definitive functional limb reconstruction by means of various internal and external fracture fixation methods. The organization of medical aid, anesthesiology, diagnostic imaging, and infection prophylaxis also receive detailed attention. Other topics to be reviewed include the management of complications, controversies in limb salvage, limb amputations, and rehabilitation. This well-illustrated book will be of value both to beginners and to experts in the field of trauma, including orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, vascular surgeons, and military medical personnel.
