Abstract
Combined injury is a compound injury that occurs when the body is simultaneously or successively affected by two or more (including two) injury-causing factors of different nature. Among the injuries resulting from modern wars, combined injuries are often a vital feature; among disasters and serious accidents in normal times, the patients with combined injuries are always the important objects of treatment.
