With the traffic accident, sudden disaster and safety accidents occur year after year, the injured patients often complicated with multiple injuries, how to maximize the treatment of the injury to improve the survival rate, is an important problem faced by orthopedic surgeons.In recent years, damage control orthopaedics (DCO) technology has been gradually developed, DCO aims to control the patients' primary injury, to prevent further deterioration of the disease, compared with the traditional treatment, it can effectively reduce the second strike and complications, is conducive to the recovery of patients.In this paper, the development of DCO concept, the theoretical basis of DCO, the adaptation of DCO, the implementation steps of DCO and the best time, the application of DCO in the treatment of severe multiple injuries and the prospect of DCO application are reviewed.
