Forgotten digital tourniquet
Abstract :
Digital tourniquets are commonly used in foot and hand finger surgery for haemostasis. Digital tournuquets are easily applied, cheap and effective methods. Complications are related with applied pressure and duration. In this paper a case with a forgotten digital tourniquet on the finger for 48 hours following the hallux surgery was presented. The case was succesfully treated with medical therapy and surgical debridement and grafting.
