Controversies in the Management of Soft Tissue Injuries
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soft tissue injuries include a wide and heterogeneous range of injuries. In this issue we cover a range of these topics including negative pressure wound therapy and the evidence-based principles behind its use, multiligamentous knee injuries, knee dislocations, compartment syndrome, and nerve injuries and principles of repair. There are a number of papers on bite injuries ranging from a literature review, their microbiology and virology, and mammalian bites. We also include a research paper on the management of knee osteochondritis dissecans. No issue on soft tissues in an orthopaedic journal would be completed without a review on fractures, and that too is included.
