- Abstract
The article discusses the efforts by the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) to facilitate major research and clinical studies to reduce morbidity associated with extremity combat wounds. It cites that the objectives of the research were derived from data-driven analyses of combat casualties to repair and regenerate functional tissue of those wounded who suffered polytraumatic injuries to their extremities. It describes several projects of USAISR in partnership with other groups, such as the development of antimicrobial systems.
