Shrapnel—Plate 82.

UPPER EXTREMITY.
Gunshot Wound of the Shoulder,
with Lodgment of the Missile.

The course of the missile was transverse from the posterior surface of the greater tuberosity of the humerus to the internal border of the scapula, distributing small metallic fragments along its path.

There is no injury to the bone. The remnant of the ball has passed behind the scapula and lies near its superior angle.

The treatment in such cases is, of course, conservative, with no serious consequences expected from infection.
