Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 9. World J Surg. 2015 Jun;39(6):1389-96. doi: 10.1007/s00268-014-2865-8. Penetrating extremity trauma. Ivatury RR(1), Anand R, Ordonez C. Author information: (1)Division of Trauma, Department of Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA, raoivatury@gmail.com. Penetrating extremity trauma (PET) usually becomes less important when present along with multiple truncal injuries. The middle eastern wars documented the terrible mortality and morbidity resulting from PET. Even in civilian trauma, PET can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. There are now well-established principles in the evaluation and management of vascular, bony, soft tissue, and neurologic lesions that will lead to a reduction of the poor outcomes. This review will summarize some of these recent concepts. DOI: 10.1007/s00268-014-2865-8
