Introduction

Four weeks after the earthquake in Kashmir, multidisciplinary surgical teams were organised within the UK (MiST). The aim was to help with disaster victims who had been transferred to Rawalipindi. We reviewed the work carried by one such team from the 5-18 November 2005.

Patients

There were 78 patients: 50 lower limb injuries only, 21 upper limb, 7 combined, injuries. Mean age was 24 (0.5-80). 24 patients were under 10 and only 5 over 60. 274 procedures were performed over 11 days (average 25 per day).
