| Abstract |
This report illustrates and emphasises the dangers of incorrect management of high pressure paint gun injuries. Two cases are described in which fingers had to be amputated because the necessary measures were not taken immediately. All cases should be treated urgently by an experienced surgeon, since fairly extensive surgery may be required. |
