A miner was freeing a stuck chain from the segments of a cutting edge using a steel hammer. The hammer inadvertently struck the cutting edge and a piece of shrapnel was ejected and lodged in the miner's upper thigh. The object was removed at the local health care provider; cleaned and sutured a small laceration.
