Facial Reconstruction:
As firepower on the battlefield has increased, so have the challenges facing combat surgeons. Modern weapons such as high-velocity rifles, artillery shells, phosphorus and improvised explosive devices increase the chances that service members could sustain complex wounds on the battlefield. Exhibited here are cases of service members who have survived serious combat wounds.
These models document surgical treatments of severe facial wounds. Some models were also used as guides to assist the surgeon in planning surgical procedures. |
