Introduction Ballistic (ie, gunshot-induced) fractures present unique treatment challenges
and can be associated with high rates of complications and considerable morbidity. Large …

Objective The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency of nerve injury associated
with lower extremity ballistic trauma, the associated skeletal and soft tissue injuries, and the …

Purpose To propose a gunshot wound-related hip injury algorithm and improve patient
outcomes. Methods Multiple online databases were queried to identify studies reporting on …

Purpose Gunshot wounds can result in a spectrum of injuries to nerves, with little data to
guide definitive treatment. We performed a retrospective evaluation of gunshot-related upper …

Background: Although the rate of non-fatal gunshot wounds (GSW) has increased, few
studies have compared the effectiveness of operative and nonoperative treatment with …

Introduction This article deals with the occurrence of health problems due to gunshot
wounds to the face among military police officers, in the metropolitan region of Rio de …

Introduction Evidence regarding recommendations for treatment of ballistic fractures remains
limited. This paucity of literature has largely been attributed to gunshot wound victims being …

Objective: To assess ballistic femoral shaft fracture outcomes in comparison with closed and
open femoral shaft fractures sustained by blunt mechanisms. We hypothesized that ballistic …

Introduction The present study aimed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of
AO type monolateral external fixator (AO-EF) and Ilizarov type external fixator (I-EF) in …

Background: Although gunshot-induced extremity fractures are typically not considered
open fractures, there is controversy regarding wound management in the setting of operative …
