TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - An unusual presentation of a ring injury JO - Journal of hand surgery (American volume) A1 - Levinsohn, E. M. A1 - Palmer, A. K. A1 - Drewniany, J. J. SP - 194 EP - 195 VL - 7 IS - 2 N2 - A case of chronic erosion of the soft tissues and bone of the proximal phalanx of the ring finger in a 62-year-old woman is presented. The patient's rings had eroded the skin, nerves, and tendons of the finger as well as the palmar aspect of the proximal phalanx; however, circulation was adequate. When the rings were removed, there was no improvement in sensibility or range of motion, but this was not bothersome to the patient.
