Thirty-seven patients from 8 months to 17 years of age were evaluated prospectively and retrospectively after sustaining gunshot wounds to the extremities. This review supports the belief that higher velocity weapons and shotgun-wound injuries cause greater morbidity, with increased length of hospital stay and increased cost of care. Late growth abnormalities were related to recognized initial physeal injury and not to unrecognized physeal injury. Immediate neurologic deficits usually resolved partially or fully, without surgical treatment.
对37例年龄在8个月至17岁之间的四肢枪伤患者进行了前瞻性和回顾性评估。该综述支持以下观点：高速武器和霰弹枪伤导致的发病率更高，住院时间延长，护理成本增加。后期生长异常与已确认的初始骨骺损伤有关，而非未被识别的骨骺损伤。即时神经功能缺损通常无需手术治疗即可部分或完全恢复。
