Dissemination pathways in high-pressure injection injuries of the hand: an experimental animal model
Abstract
Objectives: High-pressure injection injuries of the hand may compromise the function of the hand or even result in amputations. Based on our clinical observations, we aimed to demonstrate neurovascular dissemination in an animal model.
Methods: Ten adult New Zealand rabbits with a mean weight of 200 g were used. Under xylazine-ketamine anesthesia and using a triple connection system, the rabbits were injected one milliliter of black Indian ink in the third finger tip of the upper limbs at 4 atmospheric pressure. The rabbits were sacrificed via intracardiac injections for transhumeral amputation of all the upper limbs. All amputations were fixed in 10% formalin, decalcified, and specimens obtained from fingers and distal and proximal regions of the wrist were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histopathologic
examination .
Results: Transverse sections of the third finger showed subcutaneous deposition of Indian ink particularly in the pulp in all the specimens. In addition, all specimens from the distal wrist showed penetration into fascia, tendon sheaths, and neurovascular bundles of the third finger.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that, in addition to the tissues mentioned in the literature, neurovascular bundles are primarily and seriously affected by high-pressure injection injuries of the hand.
