“Damage Control” Hand Surgery : Evaluation and Emergency Management of the Mangled Hand - 22/11/17

Riassunto |
Mangled hand injuries are defined as those with significant damage to multiple structures, which may be limb threatening. Historically these injuries resulted in amputation or death, but modern surgical and perioperative advances allow for complex reconstruction and the possibility of a sensate and functional limb. Evaluation begins with surveying for life-threatening injuries followed by a systematic approach to identify injured structures; management begins with preserving all parts, minimizing warm ischemia time, performing débridement, and planning an operative approach to optimize the chance of a functional limb. With careful surgical planning and a well-executed reconstruction, most limbs can be salvaged.
