During most humanitarian crises, surgical and rehabilitative interventions remain a priority. Objectives: This review assessed the quality of evidence that informs injury and physical rehabilitation interventions in humanitarian crises. Methods: Peer-reviewed and grey literature sources were assessed in a systematic manner. Selected papers were evaluated using quality criteria based on a modified version of the STROBE protocol. Results: 46 papers met the inclusion criteria. 63% of the papers referred to situations of armed conflict, of which the Yugoslav Wars were the most studied crisis context. 59% of the studies were published since the year 2000. However, only two studies were considered of a high quality. Conclusions: While there is now a greater emphasis on research in this sector, the volume of evidence remains inadequate given the growing number of humanitarian programmes worldwide. Further research is needed to ensure a greater breadth and depth of understanding of the most appropriate interventions in different settings.
