Selective nonoperative management in 1106 patients with abdominal gunshot wounds: conclusions on safety, efficacy, and the role of selective CT imaging in a prospective single-center study.

Annals of Surgery, 2015
OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to delineate the role of computed tomography (CT) in patients undergoing NOM for AGSW. BACKGROUND Nonoperative management (NOM) of abdominal gunshot wounds (AGSWs) remains controversial.

Gunshot Wounds to the Forearm

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

Imaging assessment of gunshot wounds.

Seminars in ultrasound, CT, and MR, 2015
Gunshot injuries occur when someone is shot by a bullet or other sort of projectile from a firearm. Wounds are generally classified as low velocity (less than 609.6m/s) or high velocity (more than 609.6m/s). Those with higher velocity may be expected, on
