Surgical findings in clenched-fist injuries
Abstract:
A total of 191 patients (representing 194 skin lacerations) hospitalized for clenched-fist injuries were evaluated for deep structure involvement. Tendon, joint, cartilage, and/or bone were damaged in 75%. Tendon involvement occurred in 28 of 138 (20.3%), joint capsule violation in 99 of 146 (67.8%), free articular cartilage fragments in 8 of 139 (5.8%) and articular-bone indentations in 23 of 139 (16.5%). All patients with clenched-fist lacerations or puncture wounds over joints should be treated by surgical debridement and exploration of the deep structures, including the joint, at the time they first seek medical care.
