Below knee amputation in war surgery: a review of 111 amputations with delayed primary closure.

The results of 111 acute below-knee amputations in war wounded were reviewed. The majority of the patients were wounded by exploding mines. The amputation stumps were not closed primarily but secondarily after an average of 6.4 days. Reamputation above the knee was necessary in only one case of wound sepsis. After delayed primary closure 84% of the stumps healed without problems. The best results were obtained when the stump closure was performed within 1 week after the amputation. No cases of gas gangrene or tetanus were encountered.

An injury profile of elite ironman competitors.

An injury questionnaire was administered to the 30 elite ironman competitors (mean age = 25.7 +/- 4.6 yrs) participating in a commercially sponsored seven race national series. Responses provided retrospective data from the preceding three years indicating the type, location, frequency, cause and severity of injuries sustained by ironmen, and associated these injuries with particular race components (run, swim, board, ski). Twenty self-reported questionnaires were returned for analysis that described a total of 67 injuries incurred by 19 subjects. Results indicated the following: (i) the most frequently injured body parts were the knee (n = 18) and shoulder (n = 14) with the lower extremity accounting for 55% of all injuries reported; (ii) knee, shin and calf injuries had a significant association with the run component and upper extremity injuries had a significant association with the swim component; (iii) running was perceived to be the most injurious race component in terms of the frequency and severity of injury; (iv) overtraining was perceived to be the main cause of injury; (v) tendinitis was perceived to be the main type of injury; (vi) athletes adjusted their training mode to accommodate injury so that total training volume could be maintained; and (vii) injury did not result in withdrawal from competition. Further research investigating the techniques used in the ironman event and their relationship to injury is recommended.

[The surgical treatment of gunshot wounds].

The authors have made an analysis of results of clinical observations of 953 patients with gunshot wounds of soft tissues. It was found that primary surgical treatment (PST) of the gunshot wounds often proved to be not radical. Later it required reoperations in 30% of the wounded. To get more exact indications for a repeated surgical treatment it is necessary to make a careful revision of the gunshot wound within 3-5 days after getting the wound. The indications for reoperations are as follows: the development of secondary necrosis of the tissues necessary removal of the foreign body, opening of the pockets and leaks in order to provide valuable drainage as well as nonradical PST due to various causes. Reoperations performed according to the indications allowed to make the duration of treatment at an average 7 days shorter and the development of suppurations two times less frequent.

[Gunshot injuries of the limbs (5 years of experience; 1970-1975)].

In this study the authors present 19 patients with injuries caused by firearms. Six patients had injuries of soft tissues only, while the remaining 13 had bone fractures as well. Special attention was drawn to wounds inflicted by hunting and military rifles. The study provides data concerning the degree of injury caused by bullets with high muzzle velocities. The importance of early management of wounds and preventive treatment with antibiotics was pointed out. The fact that one patient died, and three patients had to undergo amputation does not tend to lessen the success achieved in the treatment of these severe, life endangering injuries.

[Reconstructive and plastic microsurgery in the treatment of combat trauma to the extremities].

In the department of microsurgery of A.A. Vishnevsky Central Hospital the transplantation and transposition of the at the gunshot injuries of the extremities have begun to execute since 1990. For this time 94 surgical interventions have been conducted at 88 wounded: 57 transplantations and 37 transpositions of the bloody tissues. The transplantation and transposition of the vascularized complexes of tissues with application of microsurgical technique is the effective method of the treatment of the wounded in the extremities. In the conditions of the local armed conflicts it is necessary to provide deployment of the department of microsurgery at stages of the specialized medical care.

[Repair and functional reconstruction of war wounds of limbs].

From 1979 to 1994, reparative and reconstructive surgery were used to repair the war injuries of skins, bones, blood vessels and nerves of the limbs in 800 cases. A systematic clinical study was carried out. Many new operative methods were used and the results of treatment were good. Innovations and modifications were made in technique. In 120 cases of war injuries having soft tissues defects including skin and muscles, various tissue transplantations were used with the hope to accomplish one-staged repair of the defect and reconstruction of motor function of muscle. To those infections of bone and joint in war injuries, following early eradication of infected focus, transplantation of musculo-cutaneous flap or omental graft was immediately carried out with the aim to obtain primary healing of the wound. In the treatment of bone defects from war wounds with loss of skin and muscles, the vascularized skeleto-cutaneous graft was used. In the treatment of 150 cases of injury of peripheral nerve from forearms, the result of good to fair rated 68.8 percent for upper extremity and that for lower extremity, it was 62.2 percent. Following the early repair of 500 cases of injury of peripheral blood vessels, the patency rate of the blood vessel was 90 percent. The result following by pass vascular graft in the treatment of forearms injury of blood vessels even with very poor local condition was still very successful.

Surgical repair of lateral ankle instability by modification of traditional approaches.

Recurrent instability following ankle sprains which fail to respond adequately to conservative treatment has been the focal point of discussion among physicians in recent years. A variety of surgical regimens have been implemented primarily over the past 40 years in an attempt to control this problem. The authors discuss these modalities and present their successful approach in treating lateral ankle instability.
