Abstract
Case(s): A 51-year-old military personnel with severe limb injury from mortar shelling, admitted to Orthopedic Traumatology Department, Ternopil Regional Hospital, Ukraine.Conclusions: Explosive injuries typically arise from the detonation of devices such as landmines, improvised explosive devices, or grenades, causing harm through blast, fragmentation, and thermal effects. Despite a delayed presentation to medical care, the patient underwent multiple debridement procedures, including Vacuum-Assisted Closure therapy, and vascular reconstruction, leading to limb salvage. This case underscore needs for timely medical care, addressing risks of mine blasts and cold weather injuries through training.
