Re: Severe Crash Injury and Amputation

A middle aged male sustained a severe crush injury to his right forearm and hand with fracture disclocation of elbow, fracture dislocation of the wrist. He was explained that the limb cannot be salvaged and trying to salvage the limb will not yield any useful limb. He reluctantly agreed for the same and an above elbow amputation was done.

I hope they could save his gold rings and bracelet though...
