While the first conflicts of the 21st century involved asymmetric warfare in the fight against terrorism, recent geopolitical events require us to prepare for the possibility of high-intensity conflicts. Modern wounding agents mainly consist of explosive devices and high-velocity bullets. Every trauma surgeon must be familiar with the mechanisms of injury specific to armed conflicts.

- - The study aims to clarify factors associated with revision surgery after lower limb amputations due to trauma, addressing the gap in information available to both patients and surgeons regarding patients' outcomes and potential complications.
- - Conducted as a single-center, retrospective study over a decade, it analyzed 86 patients who had undergone lower limb amputations, focusing on their survivorship and functional outcomes, with a high rate of follow-up and prosthesis fitting.
- - Key questions explored included the rate of initial amputation survivorship without revisions, patient and injury-related factors that might lead to revision, and how these factors affect the functional outcomes of patients post-surgery.
Introduction: This study evaluates the gait analysis obtained by Inetial Measurement Units (IMU) before and after surgical management of Spastic Equino Varus Foot (SEVF) in hemiplegic post-stroke patients and to compare it with the functional results obtained in a monocentric prospective cohort.
Methods: Patients with post-stroke SEVF, who underwent surgery in a single hospital between November 2019 and December 2021 were included. The follow-up duration was 6 months and included a functional analysis using Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) and a Gait analysis using an innovative Multidimensional Gait Evaluation using IMU: the semiogram.
Background: Recently, the use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) in quantitative gait analysis has been widely developed in clinical practice. Numerous methods have been developed for the automatic detection of gait events (GEs). While many of them have achieved high levels of efficiency in healthy subjects, detecting GEs in highly degraded gait from moderate to severely impaired patients remains a challenge.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in the prevention of early SSI following orthopaedic implant removal.
