MODERN STRUCTURE OF SEVERE BLUNT HAND TRAUMAS

The authors have studied the modern structure of severe blunt hand traumas in 123 patients. The size, type and localization of traumas were considerably determined by the reasons and circumstances of traumas. We have emphasized three main types of severe blunt hand traumas: traumas caused by immediate pressure of considerable traumatizing force (impaction); traumas caused by prolonged pressure of considerable traumatizing force (compression); explosive hand injuries. It has been proved that though the modern severe blunt hand traumas have mainly open character, the existence of various injuries of fascias does not provide complete decompression of compartments of hand and wrist. In the conditions of inadequate surgical treatment it may later lead to development of posttraumatic ischemic contractures of hand.
