Core Tip This letter expands on Khan et al’s review by emphasizing two often overlooked aspects of crush syndrome: Intraoperative vascular decision-making and psychiatric rehabilitation. We highlight the use of perfusion assessment tools and tailored anticoagulation strategies to improve limb salvage. Additionally, we advocate for early screening of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety using validated tools like PTSD Checklist for DSM 5 and Patient Health Questionnaire 9. These additions aim to integrate surgical precision with trauma-informed mental health care, supporting a more holistic and outcome-focused approach to managing crush injuries, especially in disaster and high-impact trauma settings.
