Abstract:
Several patterns of severe lower limb injuries are presented. They all indicate high energy trauma and affect the immediate care of the patient. The improvement of evacuation systems and resuscitating methods in intensive care create many reconstruction challenges for the orthopaedic surgeon. Awareness of the different combinations which are presented can serve as a tool that may be helpful in these demanding injuries. Guidelines for management of combined injuries are essential to improve the outcome of these life-threatening situations.
