Description of the problem	My husband was involved in an accident on october 28, 2008. The airbag on the steering wheel deployed as did a knee airbag. Injuries to his lower legs are extensive and i think these injuries were caused by the explosive force of the knee airbag. His left leg sustained a large laceration about 6 inches long by 4 inches wide. And a large area of tissue damage. The laceration could not be sutured and has remained open for more than two weeks. A very large area of tissue has gangrene because of the extent of the injury. His right lower leg was completely ecchymotic after the accident and there is now a localized area of tissue that needs to be debrided. (it looks like a huge blood blister.) extensive debridement of tissue will be done on both legs next week. For the first day following the accident, we had no idea how his lower legs could have sustained such injuries. Shortly after the accident, my husband mentioned that somehow he couldn't step on the brake after feeling the impact of the car that hit him. When i went to view our damaged car i was very surprised to see the air bag that was located at the level of the driver's legs. But it seemed to explain the extensive bilateral lower leg injuries as well as my husband's inability to reach the brake. These injuries have been very debilitating.
