DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The EWI symposium will serve to define current knowledge of the management of extremity war injuries. Sessions will include presentations on current techniques, practices, and/or limitations of wound management, antibiotics and infection, stabilization of long bones, segmental bony defects, and amputee care. Each session will be co-moderated by a civilian and military orthopaedic surgeon with expertise in their topical area. The EWI symposium will be held Tuesday-Friday, January 24-27, 2006, in Washington, D.C. This location was chosen to allow for congressional/government involvement and due to the proximity to Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC). The EWI symposium, modeled after the annual AAOS/NIH symposia, will benefit a wide audience of both military and civilian orthopaedic patients. There is a timely need for more research to be conducted to assist with the management of wartime extremity injuries. For the first time, a symposium is being assembled pairing together both military and civilian orthopaedic surgeons, jointly examining research gaps and establishing priorities. The symposium is self-serving for both parties, as techniques and treatments used for wartime injuries can be mirrored in managing civilian trauma and medical complications. The AAOS and the organizing committee are hopeful that the symposium will lead to increased government funding for research, increased research collaboration between civilian and military orthopaedic surgeons, and an overall increased awareness of extremity war injuries. A shared goal of military and civilian physicians is to quickly and safely mend and heal patients so they can return to their jobs and lives as soon as possible. Advances in the management of extremity injuries will lead to quicker recovery times from blast injuries, better response rates to infection, and new advances in amputee care, benefiting both military and civilian patients. Recently, the House of Representatives recommended the inclusion of $15 million to fund research on military trauma in its fiscal year 2006 Department of Defense Appropriations bill. The AAOS requested the $15 million to establish the Orthopaedic Trauma Research Program within the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (ISR) at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

描述（由申请人提供）：EWI研讨会将有助于定义有关肢体战争伤害管理的当前知识。会议将包括有关当前技术，实践和/或伤口管理，抗生素和感染的局限性，长骨头稳定，节段性骨质缺陷和截肢者护理的介绍。每次会议将由平民和军事骨科医生共同建造，并在其主题区域进行专业知识。 EWI研讨会将于2006年1月24日至27日星期二至周五在华盛顿特区举行。 选择此地点是为了允许国会/政府参与，并且由于距离沃尔特·里德陆军医疗中心（WRAMC）的距离。 EWI研讨会以年度AAOS/NIH研讨会为基础，将使军事和平民骨科患者的广泛受众受益。及时需要进行更多的研究，以帮助管理战时肢体伤害。首次将研讨会聚集在一起，将军事和平民骨科医生配对，共同检查研究差距并确定优先事项。这次研讨会是双方都为双方进行的，因为用于处理平民创伤和医疗并发症时，用于战时伤害的技术和治疗方法可以反映出来。 AAOS和组织委员会希望该研讨会能够增加政府的研究资金，增加平民和军事骨科医生之间的研究合作，并总体上提高对肢体战争受伤的认识。军事和平民医生的共同目标是快速安全地修补和治愈患者，以便他们可以尽快恢复工作和生活。肢体伤害管理的进步将导致从爆炸损伤，更好的感染率以及截肢者护理的新进展中恢复更快的时间，从而使军事和平民患者受益。 最近，众议院建议将1500万美元纳入2006财政年度国防部拨款法案中的军事创伤研究。 AAO要求这笔1500万美元在德克萨斯州萨姆·休斯顿堡的美国陆军外科研究所（ISR）内建立骨科创伤研究计划。
