在低收入和中等收入国家，肌肉骨骼疾病的全球负担很大，而且还在不断增长，但却被忽视了。虽然有大量资金用于控制传染病，但在发展中国家，对预防或治疗骨科问题的关注很少。“道路安全”是2004年世界卫生日的主题，本文审查了低收入和中等收入国家伤害的严重程度，以及推动伤害增长的因素，并讨论了预防和治疗伤害之间的平衡。最后，它呼吁发达国家的骨科医生与欠发达国家的同行建立伙伴关系，以改善临床护理、教学和研究，以减轻全球伤害负担。
The global burden of musculoskeletal disease in low and middle-income countries is large, growing, and neglected. While there is considerable funding for the control of communicable disease, there has been little attention paid to either the prevention or the treatment of orthopaedic problems in developing countries. "Safe Roads" was the theme for World Health Day 2004, and this paper examines the magnitude of injury in low and middle-income countries, as well as the motors powering its growth, and addresses the balance between the prevention and the treatment of injuries. Finally, it calls upon orthopaedic surgeons in developed countries to build partnerships with their colleagues in less developed countries to improve clinical care, teaching, and research aimed at reducing the global burden of injury.
