Abstract

Çivi-tabancası çivi, metal çubuk veya zımba tellerini muhtelif sert yüzeylere kolaylıkla çakmak için bin dokuzyüz ellili yılların ikinci yarısında kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Çivi tabancası, kullanımı sırasında tehlike potansiyeli olan ve genellikle inşaat endüstrisinde kullanılan bir cihazdır. Çivi tabancasının kul- lanılmaya başlanmasıyla birlikte onunla ilişkili yaralanmaları bildiren giderek artan sayıda çalışmalar rapor edilmiştir. Çivi tabancası ile olan yaralanmalar tahripkardır ve baş, boyun, göğüs bölgesinin yara- lanmaları ölümcül olabilir. Ekstremite yaralanmaları, özellikle eldeki yaralanmalar, fonksiyon kaybına ve iş kaybına sebep olabildiği gibi uzun süreli sağlık problemleride oluşturabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda, elin çivi tabancası ile olan yaralanmasının benzersiz özellikleri ve çivi-tabancası yaralanmalarının teda- vi stratejileri tartışılarak anlatılmaktadır

Abstract

The nail gun was introduced in the late 1950s to increase the ease of driving nails, studs, bolts, or staples into various hard surfaces. The nail gun is a potentially dangerous device that is still commonly used in the construction industry. Since its introduction, an increasing number of studies have reported injuries associated with nail guns. Nail gun-related injuries—such as to the head, neck, and chest—can be devastating, and in some cases, even fatal. Extremity injuries, notably in the hand, can cause loss of function, missed work, and long-term health effects. This case report describes a nail-gun injury of the hand along with a discussion of the unique features of and treatment strategies for nail gun injuries.
