Management of patients with combined height injury – a case report
Combined musculoskeletal traumas (MST) are complex injuries that can lead to life-threatening conditions and high mortality rates, particularly in men under 45 and women under 35. Recent increases in multiple trauma incidence highlight the need for timely intervention and effective management strategies. The concept of damage control orthopedics emphasizes the importance of stabilizing life-threatening injuries first, followed by staged surgical interventions once the patient's condition is stabilized.
