Abstract

Objective. To determine and verify the clinical and anatomical structure and structure of combinations of combat injuries of the extremities. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 2138 observations of combat limb injuries was carried out using the laws of formal logic, parametric and non–parametric statistics. Results. It has been established that head and neck injuries are most often combined with injuries to the upper (53.08%) and lower (46.92%) limbs. Combined injuries to the chest and upper limb occurred in 50.01 per cent of victims, and to the chest and lower limb in 49.99 per cent. The combination of injuries to the abdomen, spine, and pelvis with injuries to the lower extremities was observed in 62.40, 57.15, and 76.18 per cent of victims, respectively. Conclusions. Limb injury as a result of modern warfare is a rather complex clinical and anatomical trauma, the main feature of which is multicomponent (damage to different segments of the limbs) and combination with damage to other organs and systems.
