Gunshot wounds to the foot.
Orthopedic Clinics of North America 1995 January
One hundred and one patients who sustained gunshot wounds to their feet were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were treated at King/Drew Medical Center between 1982 and 1994. From the authors' experience, they believe that patients with low-velocity gunshot wounds to the foot should be hospitalized and treated with at least a 3-day course of intravenous antibiotics of a first generation cephalosporin. Low-energy shotgun injuries should be treated the same as low-velocity injuries. Patients with high-velocity and high-energy shotgun wounds should be hospitalized and receive broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics with multiple irrigation and debridements.
