Orthopedic injuries account for a large number of sick call visits during carrier battle group (CBG) deployments. The purpose of this study was to profile the orthopedic injuries during two CBG deployments to help both the line and medical communities better prepare their personnel and supplies. The current study confirmed that orthopedic injuries resulted in the greatest number of sick call visits to the CBG medical departments. Injury analysis revealed a significant number of hand/wrist and back/neck injuries during both carrier deployments. The groups with the highest number of injuries were the air squadrons and aircrews. These findings support the need for continued increased training and supplies for the care of orthopedic injuries. Emphasis should be placed on the care of hand/wrist and back/neck injuries. In addition, all CBG personnel should continue to improve their safety standards, especially in high-risk areas such as the aviation departments.
在航母战斗群（CBG）部署期间，骨科损伤占伤病员就诊的很大比例。本研究的目的是剖析两次CBG部署期间的骨科损伤情况，以帮助一线人员和医疗团队更好地为其人员和物资做好准备。当前研究证实，骨科损伤导致前往CBG医疗部门就诊的伤病员数量最多。损伤分析显示，在两次航母部署期间，手部/腕部和背部/颈部损伤数量众多。受伤人数最多的群体是航空中队和机组人员。这些发现支持了继续增加骨科损伤护理培训和物资供应的必要性。应重点关注手部/腕部和背部/颈部损伤的护理。此外，所有CBG人员都应继续提高其安全标准，尤其是在航空部门等高风险区域。
