“…Penetrating trauma of upper extremities are considered as difficult injuries to manage because vascular and nerve injuries are serious and may lead to catastrophic damages impairing the patient outcome [4,5]. In common practice for the treatment of this deeper penetrating injuries routine emergent exploration was performed causing a large number of iatrogenic injuries and unnecessary extremity explorations [6].…”

ÖzetYabancı cisim yaralanmaları sık görülür, yabancı cisim saplanıcı tarzda yaralanmaları ise vücudun hemen hemen her bölümünde meydana gelebilecek yaralanmalardır. Literatürde farklı özelliklerde ve ekstremitelerin farklı bölgelerinde delici ve kesici alet yaralanmaları ile ilgili çok sayıda vaka raporu vardır. Bu yazı-da önkoluna bıçak saplanan 19 yaşındaki hasta ve çıkarmak için uygulanan tedavi stratejisi sunulmuştur. Hastaya vaka sunumu hakkında bilgi verilmiş ve hastanın onamı alınmıştır. Anahtar KelimelerDelici Yaralanmalar; Bıçak Yarası; Ekstremite AbstractForeign body injuries are common injuries and foreign body penetrations may occur in almost any part of the body. In the literature there are many reports including different kinds of piercing or penetrating injuries of the extremities.

Penetrating injuries of extremities are commonly seen in the accident and emergency departments and they are excessively associated with peripheral nerve and arterial injuries [3,4] . They are less common injuries in West European countries.…”

“…[2,3] In the past, routine emergent exploration was common practice for the deeper penetrating trauma, resulting in a large number of unnecessary extremity explorations and iatrogenic injuries. [1,4] Although rapid detection, localization and specification of a vascular injury in these patients are essential for the effective management of PUET, it is ill-advised to perform diagnostic computed tomography angiography (CTA) or conventional angiography in every patient.…”

“…Similar to the case with penetrating trauma in other body regions, a selective non-operative management (SNOM) protocol should be used in PUET. [2,8,9] Without signs of vascular impairment in PUET, a conservative observational strategy is likely. [8] The present study was undertaken to assess SNOM in PUET in a tertiary referral trauma center (Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town), to which over 800 patients with penetrating trauma of the extremities present each year.…”
