Trapped finger injury.

Forty-one patients with trapped finger injuries, 50% of whom were three years of age or younger, were studied. All patients were treated with a conservative regimen, and a satisfactory result in terms of the appearance and function was achieved in 95% of patients, thus eliminating the need for more complex surgical procedures. In the paediatric age group, a secure dressing is imperative for the satisfactory union of tissue. Such a regimen eliminates the need for hospital admission and general anaesthesia, and, in terms of the final result, supports the hypothesis that, in the very young, a certain amount of regeneration occurs to compensate for lost tissue.

Finger injuries involving stationary exercise bicycles.

Injuries to children related to exercise bicycles can result in significant morbidity, but are almost entirely preventable. To forestall these injuries, manufacturers should continue to focus their attention on improved design and developing safer equipment. In addition, pediatricians and other primary care providers need to play a role in educating parents and the community about the possible hazards that exercise bicycles present to young children.

Carpometacarpal joint injuries of the fingers.

Injuries to the carpometacarpal joints are uncommon and are sometimes overlooked on initial radiographs. Their recognition depends on a careful physical and radiographic examination that may require trispiral tomograms and CT scans. Most injuries can be treated successfully by closed reduction and percutaneous fixation of the joint(s) using Kirschner wires. Chronic joint injuries can also be effectively treated, and if surgery is required, an arthrodesis will restore stability and eliminate discomfort.

Acute Disease

Metacarpophalangeal joint injuries in fingers.

Although uncommon, injuries to the MP joints of fingers must not be ignored. A loss of function in even a single MP joint can seriously impair overall hand function. The potential dire consequences of these injuries can be avoided by an accurate diagnosis at the time of injury and the institution of appropriate treatment.

[Closure treatment of finger-tip injury with chimehers].

The result of closure treatment of 98 finger-tip injuries in 79 patients with Chimehers were reported. Of these injuries, 91 (93.8%) were crush injury. Among these patients, 54 were injured in industrial accidents and 46 patients (85%) resumed their original work within one month after healing of wound. Typing was done for these 98 finger-tip injuries, and their prognosis was evaluated in this paper. Besides, the basic principles for the closure treatment with Chimeherb were also presented.

The neuro vascular flap in finger tip injuries.

The Kutler technique to restore skin cover in finger tip injuries was modified by mobilising the lateral triangular flap completely on its neuro-vascular bundle. Resultant increased mobility permitted greater advancement of the flap to allow adequate cover of the denuded finger tip. A unilateral flap is often sufficient.
