We report a case of a 39 year old male who sustained a right thigh wound in 1983 in
a motorcycle accident. The wound was caused by collision with another motorcyclist
who sustained an open segmental femoral fracture. The protruding femur of the other
motorcyclist impacted with our patient's right thigh causing extensive soft tissue
damage and destruction of quadriceps, particularly vastus lateralis. A piece of cortical
bone from the femur of the other motorcyclist was implanted into his thigh.
