“…Several other machines are involved in upper extremities injuries such as grain augers, hay balers, power take-off, wheat threshers, and corn pickers. Often these injuries caused by these machines are mutilating and represent a real emergency, requiring major surgery [30,[63][64][65].…”

Agriculture is one of the most hazardous economic sectors, and it accounts for many accidents and occupational diseases every year. In Italy, about one-third of injuries involve the upper extremity, with long-term consequences for the workers and economic damage for agricultural companies and farms. This systematic review describes upper limb injuries among farmworkers, especially hand injuries, and highlights the main dangerous risk factors. Literature review included articles published in the major databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus), using a combination of some relevant keywords. This online search yielded 951 references; after selection, the authors analyzed 53 articles (3 narrative reviews and 50 original articles). From this analysis, it appears that younger male farmers are mostly involved, especially in the harvesting season. The upper limb and hand are often the body parts that sustain most damage as these are mostly involved in driving tractors or tools. The most frequent type of lesions are open wounds, lacerations, fractures, strains, and overexertion lesions. Sometimes, a distracting element (such as mobile phone use, quarrels, working hours load) is present; poor use of protective devices and lack of safety design in tools can also increase the risk of accidents. For these reasons, in the agricultural sector, a system of health promotion and good practices is needed to promote workers’ awareness of the sources of risk, highlight more dangerous situations and apply organizational behavioral measures.

Currently, Romania lacks a tradition of trade schools. This is due to the lack of awareness on the importance of this educational structure. Such multiple trades have been learned by simple observation from one individual to another. The importance of security measures has been taken for granted if not ignored. The number of traumas produced in wood processing has decreased rapidly due to the appearance of wood processing robots, the human factor being reduced only to their programming. The cases that arrive in the emergency departments are in a major percentage from the rural area, where the wood processing is done in the household without an adequate training and without going through a learning process. Hand injuries represent a great part of the Emergency Department presentations, and because of their fundamental functional use in daily life, repair of such lesions should be done with utmost care. Wounds of the hand typically have different degrees of severity depending on the mechanism of injury. Hand trauma probably represents the most frequent pathology of a plastic surgery ER and it should be handled with utmost care because of the fundamental function in the daily routine. The present article presents the therapeutic conduct of a complex case, multiple wounds with bone exposure, digital nerve sectioning and destruction of the flexor system of several fingers.
