Abstract: Two-thirds of ballistic injuries result in severe limb damage. Damage Control Orthopaedic is a surgical strategy that makes it possible to save life, limb and function using simple mnemonic markers: 5minutes, 6hours, 7 days, 8 weeks and 9 months. The many players involved in this coherent care pathway, with its multiple surgical challenges, help to meet the challenge of comprehensive rehabilitation for orthopaedic ballistic injuries.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS.
