Background

On 22 July 2011 Norway was subjected to two terrorist attacks by a right-wing extremist. The first attack was an explosion from a car bomb against the Government Building (GB) in Oslo. The second attack occurred less than two hours later at a summer camp on the island Utøya, outside Oslo, where 600–700 young members of the Labour Party hold their annual summer camp. The car bomb killed 8 people and 69 persons were shot and killed at Utøya. All seriously injured patients came to Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål (OUH).

Purpose

The purpose of the talk is to describe the incident and the injuries at OUH from an orthopaedic perspective.
