The extremity is the most commonly injured body part and the proper management of military personnel or civilians sustaining these injuries requires excellent surgical judgment and substantial skill. In this issue of Current Problems in Surgery, Colonel Robert Rush, Chief of Surgery at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington, and his coauthors have written a masterful monograph on the topic. This is a sole source reference, which will be of value to all surgeons and medical personnel who care for these complicated patients.
