Injuries due to antipersonnel land mines in Sri Lanka.

Abstract

This series comprises 191 victims injured by antipersonnel land mines in the North-east of Sri Lanka. The pattern of mine injuries is described and the injuries to the lower limb are classified according to the level of injury. Injuries to the lower limb were the commonest and over 73% required a below knee amputation. Recommendations are made for the improved care of these victims. The socio-economic effects of mines experienced by other countries affected by internal conflicts are described. The preventive measures that could be taken to avert such a situation in Sri Lanka are stressed.
