  • Title: War wounds to the foot.
    Author: Nemec B, Santić V, Matovinović D, Gulan G.
    Journal: Mil Med; 2000 Jan; 165(1):18-20. PubMed ID: 10658422.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-nine patients with foot injuries were admitted to the Clinic for Orthopedic Surgery in Lovran during the war against Croatia. All of them were soldiers wounded by antipersonnel mines. All of the patients were treated using the same protocol. Primary wound care included debridement, necrectomy, and three-dimensional external fixation with or without Kirschner wires. External fixation facilitated postoperative wound care, prevented vicious contracture position, and made fracture healing possible with early weight bearing.
