Surgical Management of Musculoskeletal Injuries after 2015 Nepal Earthquake: Our Experience.

Raju Vaishya1, Amit Kumar Agarwal1, Vipul Vijay1, Mustafa Hussaini1, Harsh Singh2.   

Abstract

We report our experience of handling 80 major musculoskeletal injuries in a brief span of three days immediately after the major earthquake of Nepal in April 2015. Planning, proper utilization of resources, and prioritizing the patients for surgical intervention is highlighted. The value of damage control by orthopaedics in these disasters is discussed. Timely and appropriate surgical treatment by a skilled orthopaedic team not only can save these injured limbs but also the lives of the victims of a major disaster.
