Abstract：Objective To analyze and discuss the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment between rifled and non-rifled gunshot wounds.Methods A total of 83 patients suffering from gunshot wounds were admitted during our Africa support from Sep.2012 to Oct.2014.They were divided into two groups,the rifled gunshot wounds group and non-rifled gunshot wounds group.The difference of the injury degree and sites between the two groups was analyzed retrospectively.Then the reasons for the differences caused by the two groups were found out.Besides,the principles of diagnosis and treatment were explored. Results The proportions of internal organs injury,vascular injury,nerve injury,serious injury and shock in rifled gunshot wounds group was significantly higher than those of the non-rifled wound group,with significant difference between the two groups(P<0.01).The difference of the injury site between the two groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Rifled shot gun causes more serious injury and high mortality rate than non-rifled shot gun,mainly caused by the individual characteristics of the firearm.Understanding the difference between the clinical features of the two types of gunshot has certain practical significance for clinical treatment.
