dc.description.abstractBackground: Purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting return to work time and functional outcomes after low-velocity gunshot injuries related to foot. Related complications are also analyzed. Method: This study conducted as retrospective cohort study in tertiary care university hospital. Data on 26 patients obtained through retrospective database search. Type of causing weapon, anatomic location of wound, wound type according to Gustilo Anderson classification, extend of damage regarding injured structures, extend of soft tissue damage, duration of hospital stay, need of reconstructive surgery, return-to-work time, follow-up period and functional scores at final follow-up were recorded. Factors affecting functional outcome and return-to-work time were analyzed. Results: Total of 12 patients (46.2 %) experienced complications, with eight being deep soft tissue infections. The mean MFS score for the study group was 77.27 (±11.82). The mean MFS for the pistol group was 83.46 (±6.90), extent of soft tissue damage was an independent risk factor (OR 10.67, 95 % CI 1.70–66.72, p = 0.011) for poor outcomes. On average, patients took 10.12 months (±7.59) to return to work, the type of gun used was an independent variable associated with delayed return to work (OR 144, 95 % CI 8.04–2578.09, p = 0.011). Conclusion: Gunshot injuries related to foot can lead to a high rate of complications, loss of workdays, and permanent functional losses. Therefore, it is crucial to develop appropriate treatment plans and manage inevitable complications in these injuries. Level of evidence: Level IV, Case series © 2023en_US
