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 研讨会将定义当前四肢战伤管理知识。会议将包括有关伤口处理、抗生素和感染、长骨稳定、节段性骨缺损和截肢者护理的当前技术、实践和/或限制的介绍。每次会议都将由在各自领域具有专业知识的民事和军事整形外科医生共同主持。 EWI 研讨会将于 2006 年 1 月 24 日至 27 日星期二至星期五在华盛顿特区举行。 选择此地点是为了让国会/政府参与，并且靠近沃尔特·里德陆军医疗中心 (WRAMC)。 EWI 研讨会以年度 AAOS/NIH 研讨会为蓝本，将使广大军事和民用骨科患者受益。迫切需要进行更多研究来协助战时肢体损伤的管理。这是第一次将军队和民间整形外科医生配对的研讨会，共同审查研究差距并确定优先事项。这次研讨会对双方来说都是有利的，因为用于战时伤害的技术和治疗可以在处理平民创伤和医疗并发症中得到体现。 AAOS 和组委会希望此次研讨会能够增加政府的研究经费，加强民间和军事骨科医生之间的研究合作，并全面提高对四肢战争损伤的认识。军医和文职医生的共同目标是快速、安全地治愈患者，让他们尽快恢复工作和生活。四肢损伤管理的进步将缩短爆炸伤的恢复时间，提高对感染的反应率，并在截肢者护理方面取得新进展，使军事和平民患者受益。 最近，众议院建议在 2006 财年国防部拨款法案中列入 1500 万美元，用于资助军事创伤研究。 AAOS 请求拨款 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项目。
