Abstract
While often innocuous at presentation, high-pressure injection injuries can lead to devastating consequences. Stiffness, chronic pain, infection, and even amputation can occur, with amputation rates ranging between 16% and 48%. Early surgical decompression and debridement are the cornerstones of treatment.
