Taking you back a while... this radiograph was taken by me when I was a student in 1998. It is a digital photo of a film/screen image hanging on a view box, hence the low resolution. What still remains interesting about this xray to me is the story behind it. This person accidentally discharged a nail gun he was carrying while walking. The nail went in straight, but as the patient felt the nail impale him, he dropped to the ground in pain. The nail bent along with his knee, and he was unable to straighten it.
Lesson learned: If you ever shoot yourself in the knee with a nail-gun, don't bend your knee.
