Objectives: Determine the incidence, severity, and associated risk factors for the development of low bone mineral density (BMD) after combat-related lower extremity amputation.
Design: Retrospective case-control comparison.
Setting: Tertiary care military treatment facility.
Background: Although many authors report on acute injuries and chronic injuries in the orthopaedic literature, the actual terms are seldom explicitly defined.
Hypothesis: Much of the literature pertaining to sports injuries that are acute or chronic does not define these terms. It is believed that definitions will provide clarity and specificity in future literature.
