    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Trauma Management
    • Military Medicine

    Background:

    • Severe limb injuries pose significant challenges in wartime.
    • External fixation is a potential solution for limb stabilization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the indications, advantages, techniques, and results of external fixation for severe limb injuries sustained during the 1982 Lebanon War.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 45 cases of severe limb injuries treated with external fixation.
    • Analysis of treatment indications, surgical techniques, and patient outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • External fixation provided limb stability in all 45 cases.
    • No chronic bone infections were reported at the 1-year follow-up.
