AUTHOR ABSTRACT

Injuries due to entanglement, usually of clothing, in the inadequately shielded or unshielded power take-off shaft are common among the rural population. Data on 49 patients seen at the Mayo Clinic revealed that such injuries include traumatic amputations, multiple fractures, and large skin avulsions, including denudation of genitalia.
