橡胶灯泡被认为是人群控制的一种非致命的方法，但是关于这些伤害的模式和管理的文献对于法医病理学家和创伤学家来说都是稀缺的。将我们的经验添加到现有文献中。
从2008年6月到2010年8月，政府骨骼和联合手术医院Barzulla和骨科部门，Skims医学院/医院Bemina Srinagar收到了28名患者，以管理其矫形器受伤。我们遇到的管理问题和复杂性。
所有患者都是年龄范围11-32岁的男性，平民被警察和准军事部队发射的橡胶灯泡击中。上肢在被射击的6小时内收到所有患者。
我们的发现表明，这些武器能够造成重大伤害，包括骨折，对于外科医生来说，要精通这种伤害，尤其是在动荡的地区，也支持这些武器是致命的。因此，应重新分类。
Rubber bullets are considered a non-lethal method of crowd control and are being used over the world. However the literature regarding the pattern and management of these injuries is scarce for the forensic pathologist as well as for the traumatologist. The objective of this report was to add our experience to the existing literature. From June 2008 to August 2010 the Government Hospital for Bone and Joint Surgery Barzulla and the Department of Orthopaedics, SKIMS Medical College/Hospital Bemina Srinagar received 28 patients for management of their orthopaedic injuries caused by rubber bullets. We documented all injuries and also recorded the management issues and complications that we encountered. All patients were males with an age range of 11–32 years and were civilians who had been hit by rubber bullets fired by the police and the paramilitary forces. Among them, 19 patients had injuries of the lower limbs and 9 patients had injuries of the upper limbs. All patients were received within 6 h of being shot. Our findings suggest that these weapons are capable of causing significant injuries including fractures and it is important for the surgeon to be well versed with the management of such injuries especially in areas of unrest. The report is also supportive of the opinion that these weapons are lethal and should hence be reclassified.
