U.S. prisoners of war from Operation Desert Storm suffered significant orthopedic injuries. The repatriated prisoners of war (RPOWs) have been medically evaluated over a 3-year period with orthopedic follow-up. A significant proportion of the musculoskeletal injuries were located around the neck and spine, shoulder, and upper extremity. Aircraft ejection was the cause of the majority of these injuries. Lower extremity injuries after ejection, aside from the knee, were not reported. Flail injuries of the lower extremities were absent as well. These results were examined with reference to Vietnam RPOW data.
海湾战争中的美国战俘遭受了严重的骨科损伤。归国战俘（RPOWs）在三年时间里接受了骨科随访的医学评估。大部分肌肉骨骼损伤位于颈部和脊柱、肩部及上肢周围。飞机弹射是造成这些损伤的主要原因。除膝盖外，未报告弹射后下肢的损伤情况。下肢连枷伤也不存在。参照越战归国战俘的数据对这些结果进行了研究。
