65438+1October 18 noon 1 1, Aunt Wang was sent to Quanzhou Renfu Orthopedic Hospital by her family. She said that she cooked sweet potato powder at home in the morning and reached for sweet potato residue at the end. I have unplugged the power, but I didn't expect my hand to be accidentally screwed in. ?
According to the diagnosis of Chen Yunhui, the attending physician of hand surgery, Aunt Wang's right hand was bruised, in which the blood vessels, nerves and tendons of the ring finger were broken, and the other four fingers were all skin defects. Fortunately, the phalanx was not injured.
The team of doctors immediately operated on Aunt Wang. In the first stage, the blood vessels, nerves and tendons of the ring finger are anastomosed, and then the wound is covered with bone cement to protect the wound and prevent infection.
After the operation, Aunt Wang recovered well. Dr. Chen Yunhui said that after the injury is stable, the second-stage skin flap repair or skin grafting will be carried out for the patient. The normal use of hand function will not be affected after rehabilitation.
Coincidentally. On September 16, Aunt Xu of Shishi was also strangled by a sweet potato machine and treated in the hospital. Her index finger, middle finger and ring finger are all tendon rupture defects, tendon exposure, skin defects and joint dislocation. After surgery and careful nursing, Aunt Xu has recovered and been discharged from hospital.
Dr. Chen Yunhui reminded that during the period from June 165438+ 10 to the Spring Festival every year, the number of such patients increased significantly, and sometimes even one or two cases were treated a day.
Generally speaking, most of these patients are middle-aged and elderly women, and the injury is mainly finger pulp skin defect, which will seriously hurt bones, tendons, nerves, blood vessels and so on. , and even lead to palm skin damage.
According to reports, the sweet potato machine used by farmers generally has a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom. Sweet potatoes that have been ground into slag during operation are often piled up at the discharge port, and many people will clean them directly by hand, leading to accidents.
Even if the power of the sweet potato machine is turned off, the gear drum at the lower side of the machine will not stop immediately because of inertia. At this time, the sweet potato residue will be easily twisted into the machine by hand.
Dr. Chen Yunhui reminded that if your hand is accidentally injured, you can wrap it with sterile gauze to prevent the wound from being exposed and infected with bacteria. In case of finger amputation, put the severed finger into a waterproof plastic bag and seal it, and then put the waterproof plastic bag into another container filled with ice or ice water to ensure that the severed finger is sent to the hospital with the patient.
