Abstract: Objective To understand the anatomical features of the mine wound and provide anatomical basis for the treatment through anatomical observation of the mine wound amputation stump. Methods Three mine wound amputation stumps were dissected. The nerves, arteries and veins were separated and the length of the muscle,nerves,blood vessels and bleeding area were measured,respectively. The sec-tions of muscle tissue were observed by microscope. Results Most of the muscle tissues,nerves and blood vessels were torn and the fractures were comminuted. Observed by the microscope found that the distal muscle tissue was broken,the muscle fiber was contracted,ruptured and mortified. The muscle tissues of proximal part showed edema,most of the muscle fiber was normal and light stain,their texture was fuzzy. Conclusion The mine wound has remote effect. The shock wave of mine explosion may spread along the limbs,which leads to the tissues ruptured and hemorrhage.
