  • Construction workers are particularly at risk due to occupational exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence and characteristics of severe cement contact injuries.
  • To evaluate the treatment outcomes and healing time for affected patients.
  • To underscore the persistent risk of cement burns in the building trade.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study design.
  • Analysis of seven patient cases over a two-year period.
  • Inclusion criteria: male patients with work-related cement injuries to the lower limb.

Main Results:

  • All seven patients were male construction workers.
  • Injuries were predominantly to the lower limb, often multiple.
  • Median of seven visits required for healing; one patient needed hospitalization and skin grafting.

Conclusions:

  • Severe cement ulcerations continue to pose a significant risk in the construction industry.
  • Lower limb injuries are common and can be severe, requiring extensive treatment.
  • Enhanced preventative measures and awareness are crucial for protecting workers.
