Some of the radiologic features of chain-saw injuries are described. These occurred in an industrial logging community, where the use of such machines is common. The increasing availability of chain saws for domestic use makes it likely that accident and emergency departments will be seeing a wide variety of injuries following accidents with chain saws. The radiologic appearances include the chipping of bone, the breaching of joint cavities, and partial severing of tubular bones.
