TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Accidental high-pressure injection-gun injuries of the hand; the role of the emergency radiologic examination JO - Journal of trauma A1 - O'Reilly, R. J. A1 - Blatt, G. SP - 24 EP - 31 VL - 15 IS - 1 N2 - High-pressure injection-gun injuries of the hand are serious accidents and constitute a surgical emergency. Radiography is an important part of the pre-operative evaluation. Without adequate films, it is frequently impossible to estimate the extent of underlying trauma. It is imperative that physicians who initially care for injection-gun accident patients be aware of the unique features of these injuries. Delay in the institution of adequate therapy may result in needless and permanent disability.
