Gunshot wounds in the lower extremities: Treatment review
A high number of gunshot injuries occur in the lower extremities, making it likely that foot and ankle surgeons will encounter these wounds when involved in lower extremity trauma care. Understanding current thought processes and standards of care regarding high and low velocity wounds is imperative for surgeons to appropriately manage these unique and challenging traumatic injuries. Additionally, it is crucial to consider legal ramifications related to evidence collection, interaction with law enforcement, and witness testimony. This article discusses treatment guidelines that are crucial for patient care as well as preservation of evidence and appropriate documentation for law enforcement.
