What ever you do, just be sure to leave a large enough skinflap to cover the wound. You want a little "meat" over the bone too or using a prothesis will be very painful.
Good luck |

Ok just got done. Ended up using the soldering iron and it worked OK. Irrigated while sawing kept the heat down. Also filed the sharp edges off. Guy is still out (maybe a lil too much anesthesia?) and I rigged up some traction using plain medical tape and some weights dangling off the bed. This is still a ways down the road, but what are your thoughts on early flap closure? BTW, this is on a crusty old guy who lives nearby. He jacked his left leg up on a bush-hog then let it get gangrene.  Normally I'd tell someone to just go to the hospital but this is a guy who would literally rather die than go to the hospital (think he had a child die years ago). He's trading me a 1903 springfield and 400 rounds of very vintage ammo for my services.Hooooooooooooooooooooolyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Shit. |

You should have been able to cover this whole operation with nothing but a multi-tool.

Great thread. I'm learning a lot here...
I wouldn't worry too much about the flap for the time being. You'll be able to graft skin from somewhere else later on, ( the scalp, perhaps)? I'm sure you're going to have to do at least some follow-up care anyway Don't forget to cauterize! (No such thing as TOO hot...) |

It would be totally awesome if someone amputated a neighbor's gangrenous limb with medical advice from the internet, in exchange for guns and ammo... A sign of things to come after the apocalypse? |

This reminds me of the time my friend jumped into his pool and gashed his knee terribly on the cleaner thing...
It was gushing blood everywhere. His dad applied pressure, then sewed it up. Sterilized it... May have given him some leftover antibiotics.... |

Quoted: pussy. rub some dirt on it an walk it off. it isn't him, it's his neighbor. The Op is just helping out the crusty old bastard. If he is out, see if you can round the femur out as much as possible. You want to do this up inside the muscle. I have found that a die grinder works well, as it blows the bone saw dust away as you are grinding and sounds really professional. Make sure that you splash alcohol, or naptha, or something else that burns really bad on it to kill off the bad stuff. Hose out the bone dust really well with a clean hose. Then use some fishing line to begin to draw up the meat covering the bone. Use no less that 15# test, but I prefer 50# spider wire. It is about the same diameter, but looks like store bought stitches. Leave the hide loose at this point, but make sure that you keep it wet and medicated. Bag Balm, from Tractor Supply, works well, but I am sure you have your own favorite. |

I fail to see the problem here.
We have two consenting adults agreening to consenual behavior.  What did you knock him out with? I would be worried about the old guy coming to while your cutting his femur then again you cant put him on a ventilator so what if the poor bastard does not wake up if you knocked him out too hard.
