    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Trauma surgery
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Self-inflicted wrist slash injuries present a significant challenge in emergency and reconstructive medicine.
    • These injuries often involve complex damage to both neural and tendinous structures.
    • Previous studies highlight demographic and psychiatric profiles of patients, but less is known about treatment adherence.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the types and extent of injuries in patients with self-inflicted wrist slash.
    • To evaluate patient response to surgical and psychiatric follow-up care.
    • To recommend strategies for improving patient adherence to treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 29 patients with self-inflicted wrist slash injuries.
    • Consultation data from 1970 to 1974.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of surgical repair and psychiatric follow-up records.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 25 nerve injuries and 70 tendon injuries were identified.
    • Patient demographics (age, sex) and psychiatric status were consistent with prior suicide attempt series.
    • A significant finding was the low rate of patient participation in recommended surgical and psychiatric follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-inflicted wrist slash injuries result in substantial nerve and tendon damage.
    • Improving patient follow-up adherence is critical for optimal outcomes.
    • Enhanced strategies for patient engagement in surgical and psychiatric care are recommended.
