Pt suicide attempt with steak knife. Completely severed both of the arteries on volar side of forearm as well as the tendons (one of which is very easily visualized!)

UPDATE on the 13yo kid with a pathological fracture over a unicameral bone cyst while arm wrestling. We tried conservative treatment in a sling, but a significant displacement happened after 2 weeks. We decided that a CRIF technique would be best. We had to re-break it because of the very strong callus that had formed, then we used 2 titanium elastic nails. It seems stable after 2 more weeks as you can see on the first X-Ray. The 2 following images are showing the pre-op displacement (Not to mention the clinical angulation of the kid's arm that was disturbing for him and his parents).
