Wire Sutures
Oh yeah. I stepped on a toe popper (20MM shell filled with powder & a plunger to activate the primer). By far, the most serious injuries were (and still are) to my right heel. There were multiple soft tissue wounds to my left leg below the knee. One of the larger injuries required substantial wire sutures. Regarding skin grafts, I had a pedicle graft initiated from my left calf to my right heel. They were sewn together for a month. I enjoyed a private room for that time as I was in a body cast to keep the graft intact. Several of the donor sites became infected. The docs cut little windows in my cast and pulled the nasty dressings out. That sh*t hurt. Lesson learned...don't step on mines.
