TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Median nerve injury due to high-pressure water jet injection: a case report and review of literature JO - European journal of trauma and emergency surgery A1 - Emre, Ufuk A1 - Unal, Aysun SP - 411 EP - 411 VL - 35 IS - 4 N2 - High-pressure injuries that occur accidentally are potentially destructive injuries that often affect the nondominant hands of young men. A variety of products such as paint, gasoline, grease, fuel oil, cement, thinner and solvents have been reported as destructive agents. High-pressure water jet injection injuries to soft tissues have rarely been reported. In this study, we present the first case of median nerve injury due to high-pressure water jet injection by a water spray gun.
