abstract="During 18 months of the 1991/92 war against Croatia, 4,545 injured were treated at the Department of Surgery of Osijek Clinical Hospital. Some, 2,544 (55.9%) sustained shell fragment injuries and 807 (17.8%) bullet injuries. Shell fragments lead to a higher number of polytraumatized patients than did bullets (6.8% versus 5.3%). The postoperative complication rate for fragment injury (5.8%) was significantly higher than that for bullet injury (4.1%). Mortality rate did not differ significantly (3.9% versus 4.5% respectively).<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
