While the Cochrane Collaboration have been busy over the last four months, only a handful of their published reviews have been of any relevance to orthopaedic and trauma surgeons. Those that are provide the reader with an overview of work on imaging modalities, antibiotic therapy, changes to the surgical site dressing and practices surrounding post-operative wound management, including post-op bathing and negative pressure wound therapy for use in the treatment of diabetic foot wounds.

We live in troubled times. Increased opposition reliance on explosive devices, the widespread use of individual and vehicular body armour, and the improved survival of combat casualties have created many complex musculoskeletal injuries in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Explosive mechanisms of injury account for 75% of all musculoskeletal combat casualties. Throughout all the echelons of care medical staff practice consistent treatment strategies of damage control orthopaedics including tourniquets, antibiotics, external fixation, selective amputations and vacuum-assisted closure. Complications, particularly infection and heterotopic ossification, remain frequent, and re-operations are common. Meanwhile, non-combat musculoskeletal casualties are three times more frequent than those derived from combat and account for nearly 50% of all musculoskeletal casualties requiring evacuation from the combat zone.
