Abstract

Following the tragic events caused by urban terrorist attacks in Paris, November 2015, seven departments of orthopedic and trauma surgery have compared their management of the casualties. Three notions have been debated: the characteristics of gunshot wounds, the management of flood and the surgical indications on emergency. The conclusion was the need for a specific learning on « triage » and surgical damage control.
