Compound Fracture of Femur
Sorry about the size/resolution of the image, still thought it was worth posting. Text From Source: This compound fracture of the shaft of the femur can lead to numerous complications. At the fracture site itself, the most important immediate complication is blood loss. This may be considerable, followed by damage to the femoral artery and vein and to the common peroneal and medial popliteal nerves. There will also be muscle damage with the danger of gas gangrene as well as osteomyelitis. Inspection distally shows early gangrene of the toes and swelling of the ankle. Examination of the rest of the patient should include shock and blood loss as well as other injuries. -Hey Zeus Guevara-  · |

Re: Compound Fracture of Femur
This reminds me, I need to post my picture called "Compound Fracture of a Lemur" in the animal section.
