The treatment of musculoskeletal trauma continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with ongoing advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of trauma and the biology of fracture-healing and the soft-tissue response to injury, the continual introduction of new implants and surgical techniques, and clarification of the role of nonoperative treatment of certain injuries. The current emphasis on evidence-based management continues, with the orthopaedic literature containing an increasing number of randomized clinical trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews.
