AbstractCraniomaxillofacial gunshot injuries, resulting from assault, suicide attempts, and accidental trauma, represent a major public health dilemma in the United States. Due to the extent of injury and resulting osseous and soft tissue loss, facial gunshot wounds pose a unique challenge to the reconstructive surgeon.

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1995
One hundred and one patients who sustained gunshot wounds to their feet were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were treated at King/Drew Medical Center between 1982 and 1994. From the authors' experience, they believe that patients with low-velocity gunshot wounds to the foot should be hospitalized and treated with at least a 3-day course of ...

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1995
The rising incidence of civilian gunshot wounds has been well documented. Approximately 4% to 20% of these wounds consist of injuries to the forearm. An organized approach to the treatment of these injuries should be used to obtain an optimal result. Factors to be considered in treatment include the type of weapon and bullet involved, the neurovascular

AbstractThe majority of maxillofacial gunshot wounds are caused by suicide attempts. Young men are affected most often. When the lower one-third of the face is involved, airway patency (1.6% of the cases) and hemorrhage control (1.9% of the cases) are the two most urgent complications to monitor and prevent.

Medical Journal of Australia, 1980
A study of gunshot wounds sustained by adolescents revealed 55 cases which required admission to hospital over a five-year period. The most serious injuries occurred in patients who attempted suicide. Two-thirds of the cases resulted from accidental firing of the weapon in a variety of circumstances.

Gunshot wounds to the spine are becoming more prevalent, especially in urban areas. Neurologic injury can occur even if the projectile does not penetrate the spinal canal. Initial treatment should consist of stabilizing the patient's medical condition followed by a careful neurologic examination.

Gunshot Wounds to the Shoulder
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1995The proximity of vascular, neural, osseous, and muscular structures make gunshot wounds to the shoulder area particularly challenging. This review focuses on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these injuries. Special attention is given to the usefulness of vascular and electrodiagnostic studies.

Gunshot wounds to the neck are diagnostically and therapeutically challenging cases. We report such a case with vascular and neurologic injuries and describe the therapeutic options. Initial treatment is aimed at hemodynamic stabilization. Zone II neck injuries are managed selectively, and physical examination alone may dictate emergency surgical ...

Between 1989 and 1993, 67 fractures of the knee secondary to gunshot wounds were treated at the King/Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Based on this experience, a treatment protocol was devised. The protocol addresses the evaluation and management of neurovascular injuries, soft-tissue wounds, and fractures.
