Re: Hand Crushed and Degloved in Work Accident
Can anybody explain what is going on in pictures 9 and 10? They seem to show that the doctors placed the wounded hand inside the mans abdomen and sewed it there? Thinking harder about it I guess they put his hand there to do a skin graft? What a strange site regardless.  I wonder if he still has finger bones under that oven mitt that he could use to wiggle his mitt around with.

Doctors placed his hand inside a pocket of tissue in his abdomen to give it time to heal and form a new blood supply.
