Abstract
|
|
|
|
The authors report a case of hydrophilic high-pressure paint-gun injury of the hand which differed from typical high-pressure injection injuries. The patient was managed conservatively for four days after trauma because the injected agent was initially mistaken for a totally water-soluble material. As a result, the injected hydrophilic paint spread up to the upper arm. Foreign materials observed in the hand were debrided but pigmented areas in the left forearm and upper arm were retained based on considerations of functional limitation. One year after surgery, the patient had no functional complications though paint was still observed in the forearm.
