Abstract

Self-mutilation of fingers following nerve injuries is extremely rare, but it can lead to serious complications, including amputation if not treated timely. We report here what we believe to be the first English language reports of self-mutilation of fingers following median nerve injury caused by a supracondylar humeral fracture.
