“…Generally, treatment of ballistic injuries mandate prompt assessment and early comprehensive management in the first operation [1][2][3]. However, some [4,5] feel that delayed reconstruction of ballistic injuries, avoidance of mini-plates, use of small incisions, minimal exposure of bony fragments, external pin fixations, and avoidance of intraosseous wiring is safer (fearing necrosis, infection and other complications).…”
