>impalement injury with arterial involvement
>unknown mechanism where a length of u-channel post completely penetrated the right lateral to medial thigh and left medial to lateral calf
>obvious femur fracture with significant bleeding —tourniquet placed proximal to the impalement and stabilized as best as possible
>surgeons removed the post and inserted a shunt from the femoral to popliteal arteries to restore distal perfusion
>this is why we don’t attempt removal in the pre-hospital setting
>we cannot manage arterial involvement without significant blood loss and inadequate distal perfusion, risking loss of life and limb
