Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Trauma resuscitation has evolved from crystalloid-based approaches to blood component therapy and damage control principles, with significant implications for the timing and management of orthopedic injuries.
In launching this Special Issue, "Advances in Trauma Resuscitation with Focus on Musculoskeletal Injuries", we aim to share innovations across the trauma care continuum, emphasizing the interplay between resuscitation strategies and musculoskeletal trauma management.
We welcome submissions of research on damage control orthopedics, resuscitation protocols for complex fractures, the timing of definitive fixation, compartment syndrome management, and hemodynamic optimization for orthopedic interventions.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and clinical perspectives examining outcomes in polytrauma patients with significant musculoskeletal injuries, including comparisons between the approaches of early total care and damage control orthopedics.
