Multiple projectile injuries secondary to motorized lawn edger use
Abstract:
A case of projectile injuries secondary to lawn edger use is presented. A 32-year-old man was seen in the emergency department with the complaint of bilateral shoulder pain and initially without a history of trauma. When small scars were noted at the sites of pain, a history was elicited of possible injury six months previously while using a gasoline-powered lawn edger. Radiographic evaluation revealed bilateral wire missiles embedded in soft tissue. These were later removed uneventfully.
