WRINGER INJURIES

[摘要] During the 5½ years from January 1, 1955, to August 1, 1960, 116 children with wringer injuries were admitted to the Boston City Hospital. Of these, 56 were treated with, and 60 without, pressure dressings. There was no significant difference in the percentage of cases requiring skin grafting and other operative procedures. It is concluded that the application of pressure dressings in the treatment of these lesions is illogical and a waste of time and materials.
