The extremities remain the most common sites of wounding in combat, and are often
a combination of injures to soft tissues, bones, vessels and nerves. While these
injuries are managed only after life threatening injuries are tackled first,
precise evaluation and prompt management strategies to attain optimal outcome
remain the goals of treatment. With advancements in tourniquet science, broader
spectrum antibiotics, use of negative pressure wound therapy, easier options for
fracture stabilization and continuously evolving reconstructive procedures have
all increased the tools available to the surgeon to salvage severely damaged
limbs.
