Abstract

War-related injuries to the brachium and shoulder frequently involve penetrating injuries from gunshot wounds and blast fragments, as well as crush injuries from vehicular rollover and building collapse. Concomitant fractures, neurovascular injuries, defects in bone and soft tissues, and additional associated non-musculoskeletal injuries further complicate these challenging problems. A clear understanding of anatomy and a systematic approach to evaluation and management of the severely injured brachium and shoulder are essential to achieving the best result. A multidisciplinary approach will greatly assist the orthopedic surgeon, choosing interventions based on sound orthopedic principles while optimizing the physical and psychological health of the individual.
