Journal ArticleDOI
Heterotopic ossification following traumatic and combat-related amputations. Prevalence, risk factors, and preliminary results of excision.
TL;DR: Heterotopic ossification following trauma-related amputation is more common than the literature would suggest, particularly following amputations that are performed within the initial zone of injury and those that are due to blast injuries.

Injuries from antipersonnel mines: the experience of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Robin M. Coupland,A Korver +1 more
TL;DR: Patients who survive standing on a buried mine have greatest disability; non-combatants are at risk from these weapons; in developing countries their social and economic prospects after recovery from amputation are poor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blast and Fragment Injuries of the Musculoskeletal System
TL;DR: Advanced internal fixation techniques used in modern trauma centers to treat predominantly blunt trauma may not be appropriate for care of orthopaedic war wounds in a field setting.

TL;DR: Following most traumatic injuries in the civilian population, the formation of heterotopic ossification is relatively rare in the absence of head injury, and the focus of scientific effort in recent years has been directed toward prophylaxis, not treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traumatic amputation by explosive blast: pattern of injury in survivors.
TL;DR: The nature of 41 traumatic amputations in 29 servicemen who survived to reach medical care after blast injury was investigated to determine the anatomical level of amputation and the pattern of soft tissue damage, and the accepted mechanism of traumatic amputation, avulsion by the dynamic overpressure, is challenged.
