LOWER EXTREMITY.
Gunshot Wound of the Heel.

This is the same case as shown in [plate 69], but with the shadow projected from above downward instead of from side to side, as in the preceding plate. The interpretation of the shadows in the preceding plate is thus confirmed.

As the heel lay on the plate, the projectile at a sharp angle with the plane of the plate, several inches farther from the plate than in the preceding radiograph, and with the line of projection at about right angles to the long axis of the projectile, the shadow projection is considerably enlarged.
