Removing a K wire

This is me making an incision so that a K wire can be removed. A K wire is a type of thin metal rod which is drilled into a bone to hold it together when broken.

On Call again, this chap was shot by the more common low velocity 9mm pistol round. You can see fragments have lodged in his upper left abdomen (top r of picture). This caused more damage as the full energy of the heavier bullet was absorbed by the body.
