Abstract
|
|
|
|
Until now, tight-fitting material, such as a ring on a digit, has been treated primarily using ring cutter techniques. If this was not available, most physicians would attempt to pull materials out using simple instruments available in the emergency room. The material selected most often was lubricant. However, for cases in which the tight-fitting material was unusual in that the finger was fully covered so that the joint or distal part could not be located in order to check on complications, there have been no methods for consideration with references. Therefore, we treated a patient whose finger was stuck in an unusual circumstance, and removed it manually using the lubricant and compressor technique.
