abstract="The authors report 20 cases of limb lesions provoked during hunting accidents by traditional weapons (gauges 12 and 20) or by 5.5 mm bullets of 22 L.R. Lesions caused by shotguns (gauge 12, 20) are much more serious when done point-blank or at very short shooting distance. The treatment of skin and bone lesions shall be realized in several steps: emergency removal of the foreign bodies with cutting out of non viable bone fragments. Immobilization and depending on the development, two therapeutic solutions may be chosen: either skin graft then bone graft or Papineau's method. Lesions caused by 5.5 mm bullets are much less serious because losses of substances are less important.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
