A Rare Case Report of a Hand Survival

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The primary source of arterial blood supply to the hand is from radial and ulnar arteries. At least one of these is required for hand survival however sometimes in their absence the collateral circulation alone provides the essential palmar circulation. We describe here a rare case where both arteries got damaged, whole muscle mass and both bones of forearm got lost as a result of crush injury but hand though functionless, survived.
