Abstract
Between 1989 and 1993, 67 fractures of the knee secondary to gunshot wounds were treated at the King/Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Based on this experience, a treatment protocol was devised. The protocol addresses the evaluation and management of neurovascular injuries, soft-tissue wounds, and fractures. These concepts are summarized in an algorithm.
