    Area of Science:

    • Traumatology
    • Occupational Health
    • Biomechanics

    Context:

    • Analysis of 226 accident reports and medical statements related to circular-saw injuries.
    • Focus on injuries affecting the hands, with equal incidence on left and right sides.

    Purpose:

    • To characterize the patterns and severity of hand injuries caused by circular saws.
    • To identify risk factors and injury locations associated with different numbers of affected fingers.

    Summary:

    • One-finger injuries showed a decreasing frequency from thumb to little finger and fingertip to base.
    • Proximal wounds were more frequently oriented diagonally or parallel to the finger axis.
    • Injury severity, including subtotal/total amputations, escalated with the number of fingers injured, predominantly at fingertips or base phalanx.
