- The study investigates the occurrence of nerve injuries in adults who suffered gunshot wounds (GSWs) to the upper extremities, finding that nerve transection rates are higher than previously reported.
- Out of 17 patients analyzed, about 65% experienced complete nerve transection, and 71% had either complete or partial transection, mostly in the hand.
- Post-surgery, complications like stiffness and chronic pain were common, with a re-operation rate of 29.4% and an average follow-up period of 4.4 months.

There is limited literature on the incidence and clinical factors that are predictive of septic wrist arthritis. We aimed to investigate the incidence of septic wrist arthritis and identify risk factors and laboratory values associated with septic wrist arthritis.
