VIDAL RAMOS, Juan Luis. Present therapeutic foundations for the wartime limb wounded. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 1999, vol.28, n.1, pp. 31-40. ISSN 1561-3046.
One of the most important aspects faced during great disasters and wars and that may cause real crises as regards the adequate management and treatment of the patients are the injuries of the extremities. This paper is aimed at contributing to alleviate this situation and to stress the significance of this problem in a realistic way and according to personal experiences and to the experience of other international authors that have dealt with this topic. One of the most remarkable criteria refers to the negotiations directed to reach a world agreement prohibiting the use, storage, production and transfer of antipersonal earth mines, and to their destruction, taking into consideration the lack of an effective leardership on the part of the big imperialist powers. Emphasis is made on the medical advances in the therapeutics of complicated injuries.
