title: Orthopaedic war injuries: recent developments in treatment and research.
abstract: Musculoskeletal injury is the most common type of injury among survivors of combat trauma, and combat-related trauma is challenging for an orthopaedic surgeon to treat. Methods of treatment are evolving, but significant gaps remain as knowledge of civilian trauma is extrapolated to combat trauma.
