Abstract
Gun violence-related and firearm-related injuries are a public health crisis with increasing rates, particularly among younger demographics, in the United States despite a decline in incidence worldwide. There exists limited high-quality evidence to guide the management of firearm-related orthopaedic injuries. Associated injuries (i.e., neurological and vascular) are common in ballistic injuries to the extremity. Where indicated, low-energy orthopaedic injuries can be managed successfully with standard fixation and management strategies with similar complications to closed fractures.
