Since the time when firearms became readily available, surgeons have had to deal with the gunshot wounds which have presented for treatment. In middle europe, in peace time, gunshot wounds account for only a small percentage of the total number of trauma cases seen. This is reflected in our patient census in which a mere 0.065% of cases were associated with such injuries. It would seem that a relevant knowledge of the technical and physical attributes of firearms is important. With this understanding, the formulation of an according treatment plan is made easier. Gunshot wounds are frequently not confined to the extremities. The trauma surgeon, who largely deals with limb injuries, is now confronted with an increasing number of chest and trunk wounds and their particular therapeutic consequences.
自从枪支变得容易获得以来，外科医生就不得不处理前来治疗的枪伤。在中欧，在和平时期，枪伤仅占所见创伤病例总数的一小部分。这在我们的患者普查中得到了体现，其中仅有0.065%的病例与此类损伤有关。似乎对枪支的技术和物理特性有相关了解很重要。有了这种认识，制定相应的治疗计划就更容易了。枪伤往往不限于四肢。主要处理肢体损伤的创伤外科医生现在面临着越来越多的胸部和躯干伤口及其特殊的治疗后果。
