THE MEDIEVAL CROSSBOW AS
SURGICAL INSTRUMENT:
AN ILLUSTRATED CASE HISTORY
FROM prehistoric into modem times, physicians have had to cope with
arrow wounds. The wars which ceaselessly punctuated man's progress
ensured a stream of victims, to which hunting accidents added their
share. Not long ago arrow wounds bedeviled American army surgeons
during Indian wars,' and fighting in Vietnam has turned up a few cases.
Treatment has varied according to the surprising variety of projectiles
involved, the medieval crossbow offering a particular problem.
