Abstract

Traumatic injuries from civilian gunshot injuries represent a significant clinical burden to orthopaedic surgeons worldwide. Furthermore, the incidence of such injuries is increasing. Having a sound understanding of the pathophysiology associated with gunshot injuries and the appropriate management algorithm is vital. This chapter aims to review the current evidence regarding the incidence and prevalence of civilian ballistic trauma, the pathophysiological processes associated with these injuries, and the recommended management from emergent care at the time of injury to definitive surgery and rehabilitation.

期刊介绍： Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
