Door-related finger injuries are common in young children, often occurring at home and preventable with safety devices. These painful accidents lead to significant healthcare costs and potential long-term damage.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Emergency Medicine
  • Traumatology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Accidental pediatric finger injuries from doors are a frequent occurrence in emergency departments.
  • Understanding the epidemiology of these injuries is crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies.

Purpose:

  • To conduct an epidemiological analysis of children admitted to a pediatric emergency unit for finger injuries sustained from being crushed in a door.
  • To identify risk factors, injury patterns, and management outcomes associated with these common childhood accidents.

Summary:

  • A prospective study analyzed 340 children with 427 digital lesions from door-related crush injuries, predominantly occurring domestically.
  • The middle and ring fingers were most commonly affected, with nail damage, wounds, and distal phalanx fractures being frequent.

  • Adults were present in 75% of incidents, and 94% of families did not use safety devices, highlighting a significant preventable aspect.

    • Impact:

    • These injuries result in significant healthcare costs and can lead to functional or aesthetic sequelae.
    • The findings underscore the need for accessible safety devices for doors to prevent these frequent and often avoidable home accidents in toddlers.
