Trauma surgery is a branch of medicine that is concerned with treating injuries caused by impact injury. Trauma patients are usually victims of automobile accidents, slipping or falling down, gun shots, stabbing, etc. Injury is a major cause of disability and death. Trauma is the leading cause of death among people below 44 years of age and is an important public health concern. Motor crashes, injuries from fire, drowning and poisoning are the more common causes of trauma injuries. Alcohol and drug abuse are responsible for 75-80% of impact injuries.
