Abstract

Frostbite injuries are a common problem associated with military operations in cold environments. Long-term disability can result. A follow-up study of 40 patients with documented frostbite injuries reveals that 65% are still having symptoms attributable to their initial injuries. This appears to be a higher percentage than most studies would suggest.
