Abstract

Sandblasting injuries are uncommon with only four reports in literature. We report a patient with a sandblasting injury of the dorsum of the hand and wrist and summarise published literature on the management of such injuries. We recommend early (<24 hours) C-arm-guided debridement of embedded foreign bodies and repeated saline washouts with a soft surgical scrub brush.

Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).
