Urban Surgeons share their knowledge of Gunshot Wound treatment

Description: Gunshot wounds are not your everyday ordinary problems. But they do occur with some regularity in the United States. In fact, there are a reported 80,000 nonfatal gunshot wounds every year. The average orthopedic surgeon won't see a steady flow of these patients, but still must be prepared for any that do show up.
