The contribution of American military surgeons to the development of orthopedic surgery has not previously been explored. The experiences of American military surgeons in conflicts from the Civil War to Iraq and Afghanistan have advanced the orthopedic discipline, resulting in important developments within the field, as well as scientific discoveries that have benefited both the civilian and military communities. From advances in wound care, to spinal surgery, intramedullary nailing of long bone fractures, and external fixation, American military surgeons have been pioneers of orthopedic surgery. The goal of this review was to survey the American military orthopedic experience from the American Revolution to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
美国军事外科医生对整形外科发展的贡献此前尚未得到探讨。从美国内战到伊拉克和阿富汗冲突，美国军事外科医生的经历推动了整形外科的发展，在该领域取得了重要进展，同时也有一些科学发现使平民和军事群体都受益。从伤口护理、脊柱手术、长骨骨折的髓内钉固定到外固定，美国军事外科医生一直是整形外科的先驱。这篇综述的目的是考察从美国独立战争到伊拉克和阿富汗战争期间美国军事整形外科的经历。
