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

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.

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 ...

We report here a fetus, who was delivered via cesarean section in 32th gestational week from a 37-year-old mother and sustained multiple gunshots. Post-natal evaluation revealed eight entry-exit holes and the baby was transferred to our clinic.Upon admission, peripheral pulses were nonpalpable, appropriate fluid administration and blood transfusion ...

ABSTRACT: A wide variety of injuries are encountered in civilian gunshot wounds with the severity directly related to the amount of kinetic energy imparted on the tissues. A surgeon should be aware of the different ballistic properties of the various firearms and be prepared to treat each patient as an individual.

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.
