Abstract
Destruction to soft tissues by bone fragments has been described in the literature. Civilian and military injuries have been reported in which bone fragments have acted as secondary missiles. This experimental study demonstrates, in detail, the formation of the temporary cavity within bone and the forward motion of these bone spicules. The knowledge of the ballistics will assist in the treatment of wounds caused by high-velocity missiles.Mesh：
