Abstract
A case of room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone injection of the hand is presented, and principles of management of high-pressure hand injuries are outlined. Early debridement and decompression are urgent in the acute stage of injury. Intermediate stages require adequate coverage and mobilization, and late stages involve reconstructive procedures. As in all high-pressure hand injuries, safety measures and prevention at the industrial level are very important.Keywords
