Abstract
The widespread use of firearms with high kinetic energy in local military conflicts has led to an increase in the number of severe wounds to the extremities, characterized by significant damage to soft tissues, blood vessels and multiple fractures [4,6,10]. In the course of providing modern medical care to the wounded in Afghanistan and the Chechen Republic, it was found that in 28% of cases, gunshot wounds to the extremities were complicated by purulent-infectious processes [1,11,15].
