AUTHOR ABSTRACT
The
critical review of 12 cases of trauma produced by hay baler
accidents has shown a characteristically devastating pattern
of injury to the upper extremity, requiring some form of amputation
in 50 per cent of the individuals.
- The
treatment consists of conservation of all viable tissue
and bone, followed by reconstruction of the individual defects.
- If
incapacitating injury is to be prevented, greater emphasis
must be placed upon safety education of the farmer and safety
engineering of the equipment.
