Analysis of 274 patients with extremity injuries caused by the Bam earthquake.
The extremity injury pattern after a major earthquake is not well understood because data on this type of injury and management are limited. The aim of this study was to analyze the data of trauma patients with extremity injury in the earthquake of Bam Iran, registering 6.6 on the Richter scale. ⋯ Special attention should be given to dealing with orthopedic injuries in similar disasters in the future.
