Stump showing a sequestrum partly covered by a conical involucrum. The tibia were fibula were fractured around the knee joint by a rifle ball on November 28, 1863. The patient was admitted to the hospital December 4 and amputation was performed December 15. He died January 6, 1864.

The entire shaft is necrotic and partially encased by an irregular involucrum. Fracture of the knee occurred in the Battle of the Wilderness on May 6, 1864. Amputation was performed at the middle third of the femur 39 days later; the patient died of "exhaustion" 41 days after that.

The shaft consists almost entirely of sequestrum (FIG<img file-original="" media-element="" />. 1), which is in the process of separation. An involucrum is absent on the anterior surface and only partially present posteriorly.

Gunshot fracture of both bones with union by abundant callus. Fragments of necrotic bone and muscle were retained in wound, causing prolonged abscess formation. The patient was admitted to hospital December 13, 1862. Amputation was performed at mid-thigh in February 1863 and the patient died of unknown cause in August 1863.
