Objective: To share our experience regarding the management of arterial injuries in children with pulseless hand secondary to supracondylar fracture of the humerus (SFH). Patients and Methods: All consecutive children with pulseless hands after SFH who were being treated in the vascular surgery units of the Combined Military Hospital, Lahore and Peshawar between September 2011 and September 201...

AIM To provide suggestions for hand injury prevention by study the demography and risk factors of casualties suffering from isolated hand injuries. METHODS All trauma patients with isolated hand injuries who were admitted to Al Ain Hospital for more than 24 h during a period of 3 years were studied. Patient demographics, location, mechanism/time of injury, and length of hospital stay were all...

OBJECTIVE Successful reconstruction of the metacarpal hand requires thorough evaluation and careful surgical planning. Effective transplantation involves 3 main considerations: residual hand function, functional needs and desires of the patient, and optimal surgical management to maximize outcome and minimize patient morbidity. METHODS The following is a clinical example of the metacarpal han...

The purpose of this study was to examine reliability and validity of a new method of measuring hand size in which a tape measure is wrapped around the hand in a figure-of-eight pattern. In the first experiment, two testers measured hand size in 60 individuals with no recent history of injury or surgery. Intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.99 and 0.97 indicated high intratester and intertes...

BACKGROUND Paralysis of the upper limbs from spinal cord injury results in an enormous loss of independence in an individual's daily life. Meaningful improvement in hand function is rare after 1 year of tetraparesis. Therapeutic developments that result in even modest gains in hand volitional function will significantly affect the quality of life for patients afflicted with high cervical injury...

OBJECTIVE Hand burns are commonly seen in patients with burn injury. In the past, focus was on lifesaving measures, but with advances in burn care during the last century, the paradigm shifted to digital salvage and eventually to functional digital salvage. Good outcomes are heavily dependent on the care that is rendered during the initial management of the burn. METHODS A retrospective medic...

An 84-year-old man presented with a high-pressure injection injury of the left thumb. The hand-held water gun involved generates less pressure than the grease and paint sprayers usually involved in these injuries. The patient was managed conservatively in the hospital with elevation, observation, and dressing changes. Surgical debridement was not required. This case points out a previously unre...

There is no epidemiological study that exists in the UK for non-venomous snakebites. People most likely to be bitten by snakes live in rural areas in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and work mostly in agriculture. It is however a very unusual injury in Europe. We present the case of a patient who sustained a bite from a non-venomous snake, identified as a Boa constrictor, on her right hand with...
