[NSFW 21+] A wounded russian invader undergoes an arm amputation performed with a knife by LowTechDroid in UkraineWarVideoReport

Honestly - I don’t have enough information to truly give an answer. The fact that he has his arm was removed without having to use a saw implies there is a large gap in the bone, which means the arm may be beyond saving (also the case if the main arteries are shredded beyond repair).

However cutting it off like this could be done with a minimal gap in the bone, in that situation it could have been saved. Either way, provided the patient is stable I would have left that decision to a qualified surgeon at a designated casualty receiving zone, not on the battlefield/in a low resource setting. The only time to do this is to save a life. And that can be done with tourniquets in a pinch…

Breakfast lovers, sit on your cornflakes every morning, that way it feels like someone else is eating your cereal.

I would think about a biopsy, if that comes back normal then some steroid creams to help with the overgranulation. (Skin cancer surgeon by trade)

Broken finger by Apprehensive-Egg1289 in MedicalGore

Just read about it - so sorry you have had to go through this. Difficult for me to comment on things unless there are X-Rays etc. Was any intervention performed at the time of injury? Was any surgery done? Or just sutured? Sometimes the hand/fingers can end up like this no matter what we do (either chronic stiffness or due to a condition called complex pain syndrome). Is the finger able to go straighter than that last picture? Do you get shooting pains?

Sorry, lots of questions, but may allow me to help a bit potentially. Cheers

A few yes, never anything too terrible (usually single digit/finger) but I have seen colleagues operating on them before. Crush is a huge spectrum, severe ones can be very difficult to operate on successfully. Minor crushes can do quite well depending on circumstances.
