It's that time of year where many states across the country are dealing with major snow storms with multiple inches of snow. Cleanup of snow in this amount often occurs by using snow blowers. Unfortunately, snow blowers can be the cause of many devastating hand injuries.
With the possibility of new clients with snow blower injuries, it is a good time to review care of wounds. Snow blower injuries can be very complex and certainly the most critical component of the injury guides the care in therapy, i.e. flexor tendon involvement, but most often snow blower injuries present with wounds requiring immediate care.
