Surgical options in the management of landmine blast injuries of lower limb: a randomised prospective study.

Landmine blast injuries are high velocity shattering injuries that produce ghastly and gory wounds, presenting a dilemma to the treating surgeon, especially when the literature on this subject is limited. The aim of the present study is to enlist various surgical procedures that can be explored to treat such complex injuries. 60 cases having varied degrees of involvement of the lower limb from mine blasts were managed.
