Objective:
The aim: To highlight the original experience of diagnosis and treatment of patients with gunshot wounds of the extremities with extensive defects of the soft tissues.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: The total number of treated patients with massive gunshot wounds from February 2022 to March 2023 was 60 males. Basic labo¬ratory tests, X-rays of the affected limbs were performed to all patients. USS of the vessels with color Doppler was performed to those casualties who had no peripheral pulses on the wounded extremity. All injured persons underwent wound debridement and fasciotomy on the day of admission, 8 more casualties underwent surgical interventions on the major vessels and nerves.
Results:
Results: Good treatment outcomes for patients with extensive soft tissue injury were achieved by early surgical intervention to remove non-viable tissue. Limb preservation was achieved in 98.3% of cases.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The study's conclusion emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treating patients with gunshot wounds to the limbs with extensive soft tissue injury. Early surgical interventions with the removal of non-viable tissues are necessary for good outcomes. Revascularization of the affected limb is essential in case of major vessel injury if there is no thread to the life.

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
