The trauma pandemic disproportionately kills and maims citizens of low-income countries although the immediate cause of the trauma is often an industrial export of a high income country, such as a motor vehicle. Addressing the trauma pandemic in low-income countries requires access to relevant research information regarding prevention and treatment of injuries. Such information is also generally produced in high income countries. We explored various means of making scientific information available to low-income country surgeons using the internet. If orthopaedic surgeons want to maximize their global impact, they should focus on writing about trauma questions relevant to their colleagues in low-income countries and ensuring these same colleagues have access to the literature.
创伤大流行对低收入国家公民造成的伤亡比例过高，尽管创伤的直接原因往往是高收入国家的工业出口产品，如机动车。解决低收入国家的创伤大流行问题需要获取有关伤害预防和治疗的相关研究信息。此类信息通常也由高收入国家产出。我们探索了利用互联网向低收入国家外科医生提供科学信息的各种方法。如果骨科医生想要最大化其全球影响力，他们应专注于撰写与低收入国家同行相关的创伤问题，并确保这些同行能够获取相关文献。
