This book is designed to meet the continued need to re-learn the
principles of treatment of complex war injuries to the extremities
in order to minimize post-traumatic and post-treatment
complications and optimize functional recovery. Most of the
chapters are based on the unique experience gained in the treatment
of military personnel who have suffered modern combat trauma and
civilian victims of terror attacks at a single, large level 1
trauma center. The remaining chapters present the experience of
leading international authorities in trauma and reconstructive
surgery. A staged treatment protocol is presented, ranging from
primary damage control through to definitive functional limb
reconstruction. The organization of medical aid, anesthesiology,
diagnostic imaging, infection prophylaxis, and management of
complications are reviewed, and a special chapter is devoted to the
challenging dilemma of limb salvage versus amputation in the
treatment of limbs at risk.
