| Popis: |
Ring entrapment on swollen digits is frequently encountered in urgent and emergent settings. Various removal methods have been described. Special tools and techniques are required to remove rings and bands from fingers in order to prevent finger ischemia and necrosis. Non-cutting removal techniques are preferable, but when unsuccessful, cutting or destructive techniques may be necessary. Techniques are material dependent and directly related to hardness and malleability. We present a case of digital entrapment in the lug hole of a tire, extricated utilizing a Dremel tool and provide a summary of other ring removal techniques. |
