Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
On account of the composite nature of blast injuries and high-velocity projectile wounds, combat war injuries around the knee present a significant challenge to orthopedic traumatologists and reconstructive plastic surgeons. The tremendous magnitude of soft tissue destruction and systemic illness that accompanies these injuries mandates a comprehensive and cooperative effort among trauma, vascular, orthopedic, and plastic surgeons to achieve optimal outcomes. The open wounds that accompany wartime traumatic knee injuries leave large soft tissue voids and may involve injury to the stabilizing structures around the knee. In these situations, well-vascularized soft tissue coverage of the bone, ligaments, and tendons of the knee must be achieved. Reconstruction of the open fractures and the lost or traumatized skin and soft tissue must be achieved to salvage a functional joint. Frequently, this includes the reconstruction of the stabilizing ligaments and may involve a requirement for reconstruction of the extensor mechanism of the knee. This study will review preoperative assessment, complications, and recent advances in the management of soft tissue trauma around the knee in war-injured patients treated at level 5 treatment facilities.
