Purpose of the guideline: High-energy injuries are bodily injuries caused by excessive kinetic energy generated by various high-risk factors. In recent years, with the increasing frequency of severe high-energy limb injuries resulting from car accidents, falls from heights, and explosions, the continuous advancement of imaging technologies has played a significant role in the systematic assessment of limb trauma, guiding clinical interventions and improving recovery outcomes. To further guide the clinical evaluation of imaging in high-energy limb trauma, experts in radiology and related fields in China have collaborated to develop this consensus, aiming to enhance the standardized application of imaging analysis and graded assessment in high-energy limb trauma events.
