which is dependent upon permanent and temporary cavitation as well as bullet fragmentation. The type of injury induced may range from very severe (such as volumetric muscle loss; VML) to mild (such as a minor laceration). The
while avoiding the risks of interval dialysis, additional operations, hospitalizations, and anesthetic exposure.125 This combined approach is not without its potential complications, however, found in the study to include one instance of wound dehiscence, adrenal insufficiency, and liver laceration.

Anterior segment lacerations, ruptures, and avulsions with persistent aqueous leakage, an open globe, have a high risk of PVP and require special management considerations. When severe PVP interferes with surgery, management strategy is twofold: determine and treat the specific cause(s) when possibl...
Lastly, laceration and transection injuries can occur through projectile injuries, severe dislocations, or sharp bone fragment dislocations, and can present high variability from minor injuries to complete transection [9]. Regardless of the form of primary injury, these forces will directly damage the ...
