dc.description.abstract | Since the destructive and illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, caring for the victims of war trauma has been an essential function of Ukrainian clinicians [1, 2]. The authors present a case where using novel dynamic digital thermography (DDT), combined with international telemedicine support, contributed to saving the lower limb of an injured Ukrainian soldier. A male soldier in his 30s presented with a ‘through and through’ fragmentation wound to the right thigh from an artillery shell exploding nearby. After initial haemorrhage control and resuscitation, the patient was transferred to a tertiary hospital. Using telemedicine support, reconstructive surgery was planned and performed successfully using a perforating f lap technique. DDT was used pre-operatively to identify a perforating vessel and post-operatively to ensure perfusion of the f lap. The patient made a good recovery and was discharged 14 d post-operatively | en_US |
