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 150.

LOWER EXTREMITY.
Gunshot Fracture of the Left Astragalus,
with Lodgment of the Missile.

The external border of the foot lay next to the plate, as is shown by the articulation of the cuboid.

A fragment detached from the posterior inferior border of the astragalus and several small metal particles lying behind the fragment are in evidence.

The enlarged shadow of the ball indicates that it does not lie close to the plate, and it must then lie at least as far away as the internal surface of the calcaneus and at a depth from the sole that can be measured on the plate.
