Gunshot Roentgenograms / A Collection of Roentgenograms Taken in Constantinople During the Turko-Balkan War, 1912-1913, Illustrating Some Gunshot Wounds in the Turkish Army

by Clyde S. Ford

Shrapnel—Plate 132.

LOWER EXTREMITY.
Gunshot Wound of the Knee,
with Lodgment of the Missile.

The fibular side of the leg lay next to the photographic plate, as shown by the enlarged fainter outline of the internal tuberosity.

The shadow of the shrapnel ball is neither as normal in size as that of the external condyle nor as exaggerated as that of the internal condyle, and the position is probably neither as close to the plate as the former nor as far away as the latter.

The missiles lie about the middle of the anterior surface of the lower end of the femur, above the articular surface.
