Explosive injury of the hand: partial amputation of soft tissues of the distal phalanges. Emergency surgical treatment. Clinical case
Abstract
This clinical case describes the successful treatment of a patient with a diagnosis of combined partial traumatic amputation of the soft tissues of the distal phalanges of the 1st, 3rd, and 4th fingers of the right hand. The patient presented with multiple wounds on the palmar surface of the fingers. Unique aspects of this case include the mechanism of injury: an explosion of a firecracker in the hand and the age of the patient — 14 years. This work aims to update and expand information about such injuries in childhood and expand the list of available surgical techniques and treatment tactics for emergency physicians.
