TL;DR: The development of a rodent model of primary blast limb trauma that is the first to highlight an important role played by blast wave duration and magnitude in initiating acute inflammatory response following limb injury in the absence of limb fracture or penetrating trauma is reported.

TL;DR: Digital volume correlation techniques show great promise as a tool to advance this endeavour, providing a new perspective on lung mechanics post-blast, and illustrating that the focal damage caused by a blast can give rise to diffuse influence across the tissue.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the effect of parameters such as projectile mass, velocity, and impact location on the injury threshold of the femur of a porcine femur.

TL;DR: A small-animal model of pelvic blast injury with a shock-tube mediated blast wave was utilised and showed that lower limb flail is necessary for an unstable pelvic fracture with vascular injury to occur.

TL;DR: These findings define the protection thresholds to improve the injury outcomes for fragment penetrating injury to the tibia.
