Dr. S. Aram, Dr. K. Geetha

Abstract :

 Industrial injuries contribute major part of morbidity during the prime earning age. With technological advancement, automated machineries are forming part and parcel of our day to day life. Ours being a developing country, we are half way through in investing fully in the field. So we tend to carry out the tasks with machineries operated by man power. This warrants alertness while handling it on the part of the persons and proper maintenance and installment of appropriate safety measures to avert machinery injuries which is the responsibility of the employer. Hence we are presenting a case history of a 35 year old printing technologist, who had a guillotine amputation of right hand at wrist level, promptly landed in a reconstructive centre. He was operated in stages and with intensive, appropriate physiotherapy, regained his functional capacity satisfactorily.
