Abstract:
:Potentially serious iatrogenic hand injuries occurred in three patients in a general medicine practice. All resulted from technologic advances in patient care. Each resulted in substantial economic and emotional costs. One patient sustained a serious residual disability. Such injuries have rarely been reported in the past, but advances in medical technology and changes in reimbursement patterns may make outpatient iatrogenic hand injuries increasingly common. Physicians must be alert to such injuries.
