Don't be dumb. Be careful with your hands. I will be back soon.

🌺Note: Turkish,English and German description is below.

🦋Bu hastamız, 4 yaşında el parmaklarını demir kapıya sıkıştırarak ezmiş ve kopartmış.

🦋0-6 yaş grubu el yaralanmaları diğer yaşlara göre plastik/Estetik/El ve Mikrocerrahi yaklaşımı farklılık gösterir.

🦋Bu konuda benim uzmanlık tezim Türkiye’de ve Avrupa’da en fazla hasta sayısı ve bilgileri içermektedir( bakınız! İnternet: 0-6 yaş çocukşarda el yaralanmaları).

🦋Ne yazık ki bu hasta 2 üniversite hastanesine gitmiş ve müdahale edilmemiş, başka bir hastanede de yalnızca dikiş yapılmış( mikrocerrahi yapılmadan).

🦋Bize 5 hafta sonra geldi, şans vermek istedik, ameliyata alarak canlı kemik ve dokuları alarak kasık bölgesi flebi( doku nakli) ile kapattık. 2-3 hafta sonra kasıktan ayrım yapılarak parmakları şekillendirmeye çalışacağız.

🦋Sonuç beklediğimizden daha başarılı görülüyor

🌠Önemli Uyarı! paylaşılan fotoğraflar/videolar hasta onayı alınıp, tanınmayacak şekilde kamuflaj edilmiş olup, yalnızca bilimsel bilgi paylaşımı için yerleştirilmiş tir. Ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası fotoğrafnnnnnn/video paylaşımı amaçlanmamıştır! #handinjury #elyaralanması #parmakkopmaları #elvemikrocerrahi #mikrocerrahi #plasticsurgery #reconstructivesurgery #istanbulhandsurgery #opdrazimetözdemir #0-6yaşelyaralanmaları #0-6agennnnhandinjury #çocuklardaelyaralanması #türkiye #turkey #istanbul #☎️+905322058604☎️+905054925755 #supermicrosurgery #ingıinalflap #dokunakli #tissuetransfer #ampütasyon #amputation #ayaktaneleparmaknakli #toetofinger #fingurinjury

🌺Note: Turkish, English and German explanation is below.

🦋When this patient was 4 years old, she got stuck in an iron door and crushed and cut her fingers.

🦋 Plastic/Aesthetic/Hand and Microsurgery approaches to hand injuries in the 0-6 age group differ compared to other ages.

🦋My specialization thesis on this subject is the thesis containing the most patients and information in Turkey and Europe (see Internet: Hand injuries in children between the ages of 0-6).

🦋Unfortunately, this patient went to 2 university hospitals and received no treatment, and in another hospital he only received stitches (without microsurgery).

🦋5 weeks later he came to us, we wanted to give him a chance, we took him into surgery and removed the living bones and tissues and closed them with a groin area flap (tissue transplant). After 2-3 weeks, we will try to shape the fingers by separating them from the groin.

🦋The result looks more successful than we expected

Where in the entire knee joint is addressed with 2 to 3 portals. The diagnostic scopy is done and the status of the meniscus, cartilage and ligaments are noted, Meniscal repair can be done with special implants such as fast fix, meniscal cinch, etc. For complex tears partial/subtotal meniscectomy is advised.

For most ligament reconstructions. Grafts commonly used are hamstrings tendons(semitendinosis and Gracilis)Other Grafts are Bone Tendone Bone Graft from Patella and Quadriceps tendon. The graft is secured with ultra-button/tightrope at the thigh end and bio screws at the tibial-end. For short individuals, using tight ropes holding the graft with graftlink technique is used. With the advent of the instrumentation and new techniques in surgeries,surgical time was reduced to a great extent which reduces the chances of infection and pain post surgery and rehabilitation has been shortened and almost pain free.

Been trying to survive my thumb injury by doing a lot of digital stuff. Drawing won't be doable until at least next week, but I've been able to manage the mouse and the stylus to a certain extent; so I have been playing with parts of existent works to create new designs. It's all fun and promising, but truth be told, there are things only the pencils can do for you. #patriciaarielart #houseofmirrorsstudio #creatingwithspirit #illustration #digitalillustration #skullart #photoshopillustration #bambootablet #handinjury https://www.instagram.com/p/CfH-u-MPBHw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Top Five Types of Hand Injuries in the Workplace

There are a number of different types of hand injuries in the workplace. These injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to more serious injuries, such as fractures, lacerations, and crush injuries. In some cases, hand injuries can even lead to amputation.

Workers in a wide variety of industries are at risk of suffering hand injuries. Some of the most common industries where hand injuries occur include construction, manufacturing, and healthcare.

This blog post will look at some of the most common types of hand injuries in the workplace. We will also discuss some of the key strategies that can be used to prevent these injuries from occurring.

Hand Injuries in The Workplace

Hand injuries are a common occurrence in the workplace. In fact, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), hand injuries account for approximately 20% of all occupational injuries. While any part of the hand can be injured, the fingers are typically more vulnerable due to their small size and delicate structure.

Furthermore, certain jobs carry a higher risk for hand injuries than others. For instance, manual laborers such as construction workers or factory workers are more likely to suffer hand injuries than office employees.

The Basics:

Some of the most common hand injuries occur when our hands come into contact with sharp objects or hazardous materials. Other causes of hand injuries include:

Overexertion

Repetitive motions

Vibration from equipment

Cold weather

Preventing Hand Injuries:

You can do several things to prevent hand injuries in the workplace. These include:

Wearing gloves whenever possible

Using caution when handling sharp objects or hazardous materials

Taking breaks every hour to rest your hands

Using proper lifting techniques

Stretching your muscles regularly

Some Common Types of Hand Injuries in the Workplace

An estimated 1.8 million workers in the United States sustain hand injuries yearly. The five most common types of hand injuries in the workplace are fractures, dislocations, cuts and lacerations, nerve damage, and burns. Let’s take a closer look at each type of injury.

Fractures – A fracture is a break in one or more bones in hand. They can be caused by a fall, collision with another object, crush injury, or wrist twisting. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and stiffness. Treatment includes immobilization in a cast or splint, followed by physical therapy to restore strength and range of motion.

Dislocations – A dislocation occurs when two bones forming a joint become separated. This can happen when the hand is struck violently against an object or hyperextended (bent backward). Symptoms include pain, swelling, deformity, and difficulty moving the fingers or thumb. Treatment usually involves setting the joint back into alignment, followed by Physical Therapy to restore function. Surgery may also be necessary to repair any damage to the surrounding tissues.

Cuts and Lacerations – Cuts and lacerations are among the most common types of hand injuries seen in emergency rooms across the country. They are caused by contact with sharp objects such as knives, blades, glass, or metal. Symptoms vary depending on the size and depth of the wound but typically include pain, bleeding, swelling, and infection. Treatment generally involves cleaning and stitching up the wound under sterile conditions. Surgery may be required to ensure proper healing if there is significant muscle or bone damage.

Nerve Damage – Nerve damage can occur when there is direct trauma to one of the nerves in your hand. This can cause numbness, tingling sensation, burning pain, weakness, or paralysis. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to relieve the compression of the nerve tissue. With appropriate treatment, most people make a full recovery.

Burns – Burns account for about 5% of all hand injuries treated in US hospitals yearly. They are caused primarily by contact with flames, hot liquids, electrical currents, radiant heaters, etc. The severity of the burn depends upon its depth, the extent of the area affected, the clothing burned, etc. Most first-degree burns heal without scarring, while second and third-degree burns may leave scars.

How To File A Claim For A Workplace Hand Injury?

If you have been injured at work, you may be wondering how to file a claim for your injuries. Workers’ compensation is a system in place to help workers who are injured on the job. In most states, workers’ compensation is mandatory, which means that employers must provide coverage for their employees.

Workers’ compensation pays for medical expenses and, in some cases, lost wages. It is important to know how to file a claim so that you can get the benefits to which you are entitled to.

This blog will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to file a claim for a workplace hand injury.

Workplace Hand Injury

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, hand injuries are some of the most common injuries that occur in the workplace. In fact, they account for about one million lost workdays each year. There are many ways that a workplace hand injury can occur. Some of the most common include:

Repetitive motion injuries

Cuts

Burns

Chemical injuries

Crushing injuries

If you have suffered a hand injury at work, you may be wondering how to file a claim. The process can be confusing, but this blog will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to file a claim for a workplace hand injury.

Filing a Workplace Hand Injury Claim

The first step in filing any workers’ compensation claim is to notify your employer. You should do this as soon as possible after the injury has occurred. You should then visit a doctor to have your injuries examined. Be sure to keep all of your medical documentation, as this will be necessary when you file your claim. Once you have seen a doctor, you will need to fill out a workers’ compensation claim form. This form can be obtained from your employer, your state’s workers’ compensation office, or online. Once you have completed the claim form, you will need to submit it to your employer. They will then forward it to their workers’ compensation insurance carrier. The insurance carrier will then review your claim and determine if you are eligible for benefits.

Receiving Benefits

If your claim is approved, you will begin receiving benefits. These benefits can include:

Medical benefits: You will be reimbursed for any medical expenses related to your injury, including doctor’s visits, prescriptions, and hospital stays.

Wage replacement: If you are unable to work due to your injury, you may be eligible to receive wage replacement benefits. These benefits are typically two-thirds of your average weekly wages.

Death benefits: If a worker dies because of a work-related injury, their family may be eligible to receive death benefits.

Appealing a Denied Claim

If your workplace hand injury claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. The appeals process will vary depending on your state, but you will typically need to submit a written request for an appeal. You may also be required to attend a hearing, at which you will have the opportunity to present evidence to support your appeal. An attorney can help you navigate the appeals process and improve your chances of having your claim approved.

Started a new book on the plane home! I’m really enjoying @leigh_sales thoughtful book and the conversations it contains with those who’ve lived through trauma and one-in-a-million events. I thought it might help put my car accident and amputations in perspective, and it’s certainly given me lots to think about so far! Can’t wait to get home and finish it. #inflight #book #bookstagram #amputeegirl #handinjury #bookrec #amputee #handinjury #luckyfin https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq6q5fsl_Rk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a78pe68p766z
