A GSW to the limb may cause damage to your bones, tendons, or ligaments. It may also cause damage to your muscles, nerves, or major blood vessels.
Depending on the extent of injury, management can range from superficial wound care to limb amputation.
Non-fatal gunshot wounds frequently have mild to severe long-lasting effects, typically some form of major disfigurement such as amputation because of a severe bone fracture, and may cause permanent disability.
