STRUCTURE OF COMBAT INJURY OF THE HAND IN THE REPUBLICAN TRAUMATOLOGY CENTER OF DONETSK
The study reflects the most significant demographic, social, etiological and pathogenetic parameters, which make it possible to fully compile a prognostic portrait of a typical patient with a combat injury of the hand (CIH). Comparison groups were selected for the mechanogenesis of trauma. We attributed bullet wounds, shrapnel wounds and an explosive injury to the CIH. This distribution made it possible to determine the main differences in the level, degree and severity of possible injuries for each type of injury. The decreasing traumatization by combat ammunition does not diminish the importance of studying the CIH, due to the prevailing damage to the most able-bodied population and the severe nature of the injuries.
