164 Injuries of Bone, 



tion for Gunshot Fracture. — Portion of the shaft of a 



femur — macerated, to show the above. 

 The wound was received at Waterloo. 



The sawn surface and the bone near it are smooth, and 

 have been dead. Beyond that the surface has been eroded by 

 granulations, and further up it is encrusted with new periosteal 

 bone. This is raised as an irregular collar, behind the groove 

 of separation, and beyond that it fades gradually off into the 

 general surface of the bone.

3. 340. Necrosis of the Stump of a Femur after Amputa- 

 tion for Gunshot Fracture. — Small portion of the 

 shaft of a femur — macerated, showing the above. 

 The wound was received on the field of Waterloo. 

 This specimen was formerly entered as a case of gvinshot 

 fracture, but as its features are essentially similar to these of 

 the last, the title now adopted seems more suitable.

3. 341. Sequestrum after Amputation of the Femur for 



Gunshot Fracture. — Portion of the shaft of a femur — 

 macerated, showing the above. 



The patient was wounded at Waterloo. 



As in the previous specimen, the sawn surface and neigh- 

 bouring bone are unchanged from what they were at the time 

 of operation. Beyond that, the bone has been pitted and 

 eroded by the granulations during the process of separation.
