The Initial Management of Gunshot Injuries to The Femur (original) (raw)

2016

Abstract

The purpose of this review was to look at issues with varying opinions in the management of gunshot injuries to the femur. These include the necessity for wound debridement, formal irrigation and intravenous antibiotics. Due to the increase in accessibility of high powered weapons by civilians, the civilian Orthopaedic surgeon must be able to diagnose and differentiate between low and high velocity gunshot injuries, as well as be aware of the management protocols of those different scenarios.
