摘要

背景:由于丰富的感觉神经支配和在日常生活中不可替代的作用,手可以被描述为第六感觉器官。它是探索的器官,尤其是儿童;因此,更容易受到创伤。早期手术治疗是必要的,以防止并发症,如挛缩,由于伤口愈合迅速,在这些患者。方法:从病例记录中检索资料,记录患者的人口学特征、损伤原因、治疗方式和治疗结果。结果:5年内共观察手部病例352例。其中小儿患者57例(16.3%)。烧伤是最常见的手部损伤原因,占38.6%,指尖损伤是最常见的开放性软组织损伤形式,占22.8%。手部骨折少见。结论:密切儿童监护对创伤预防具有重要意义。以软组织修复/皮肤置换的形式进行早期干预对改善预后很重要。

Clinical profile and management of pediatric hand injuries in Lagos, South-west Nigeria - A retrospective study
Background: The hand can be described as the sixth-sense organ due to its rich sensory innervations and its irreplaceable role in daily functioning. It is an organ of exploration, especially in the children; hence, higher predisposition to trauma. Early surgical treatment as required is expedient to prevent complications such as contractures due to rapid wound healing in these patients. Methods: The demographic characteristics of the patients, causes of injuries, treatment modalities, and outcome of treatment were documented after retrieving the information from the case notes. Results: A total of 352 hand cases were seen over 5 years. Out of this, 57 (16.3%) were pediatric patients. Burn injury was the most common cause of hand injury seen in 38.6% of patients, and fingertip injury was the most common form of open soft-tissue injury seen in 22.8% of cases. Hand fractures were infrequent. Conclusion: Closer monitoring of children is important for trauma prevention. Early intervention in the form of soft-tissue repair/skin resurfacing is important for improved outcome.
