Compressed Air Injuries of the Hand

From the Hospital of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sorø, Denmark

Two cases of injection of compressed air into the hand are reported. The air was injected under a pressure of 5–15 Atm. Both cases had a benign course. This is in contrast to high pressure injection (40–400 Atm) with foreign material.

Both patients had minor skin lesions before the accident.
