I've been on this forum so long I probably have already written a similar post a while back, but I cannot remember. Basically, in my WIP my main character is shot in the thigh with an arrow at a far range. He is not wearing any armour to protect his thighs and so the arrow goes unhindered into his leg. Back in medieval society, first of all; would the wound most likely heal? Obviously some muscles and things will be damaged and he won't be able to walk for a couple of months I'd imagine, but after that- would the leg heal back to normal? The second question is, what is the process of treating the wound and taking out the arrow?
