Abstract
Abstract Explosive weapons remain the leading cause of death, injury, and disability to combatants in battle. Recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have seen considerable advances in the surgical knowledge and skills needed to save life and limb of multiply injured casualties. Global terrorism has seen explosive weapons move from battlefield to urban centres, often with devastating effects. Orthopaedic training prepares for the management of general civilian trauma scenarios, but blast injury pathophysiology and management is rarely considered. It is important that future trauma surgeons have a working knowledge of blast injury and how it affects the musculoskeletal system so that they can manage such patients.
