Crush Injury of the Hand
The image shows a crushed hand with gross disruption of musculature, blood vessels, ligaments and bones. No further info about this case. A crush injury of the hand is a way of injuring the hand that can damage important structures such as bone, ligaments, blood vessels and nerves. Crush injuries are usually caused by a heavy object falling on the hand or the hand being trapped in a door. You will experience very severe and sudden pain following a crush injury to the hand. A crack may have been heard if the force was large enough to cause a fracture or dislocation. You may notice bleeding and bruising if blood vessels have been damaged. Swelling around the site of injury is common and you will have limited movement of the area due to pain and the number of structures damaged. If nerves have been damaged, you could experience pins and needles or numbness in part of the hand. You must go to your nearest accident and emergency department as soon as possible to get your injury treated. You should not try and manage your symptoms on your own if you have experienced a crush injury to the hand. The sooner you get medical help, the greater chance that you will regain full function in your hand. It is also important that you prevent an increase in blood flow to the area. - This post is for educational purposes only and is nonprofit.
