Abstract

A 33-year-old man sustained a severe hand degloving injury involving the index, middle, and ring fingers after entrapment in a brick machine. Emergency management included debridement, fixation, tendon repair, and skin reimplantation. Partial necrosis required secondary surgery. Despite the crush mechanism, recovery was favorable with good function and aesthetics. Early surgery and rehabilitation are key to optimal outcomes
