Abstract:
30 cases of iatrogenic injection injuries to the hand and upper limb are reported. 16 followed therapeutic injections (steroids--11 cases, infusions--five cases) and 14 occurred during anaesthetics procedures (local blocks--ten cases, general anaesthetics--four cases). Guidelines for minimizing the risk of injection injury are outlined.
