title: The pattern of hand injury sustained in the overturning motor vehicle.
abstract: This is a review of six patients presenting with severe injuries of the dorsum of the hand following motor vehicle accidents. In each case the injury was sustained by the hand being trapped between the road and the overturning vehicle. The injured hands were either outside the window or passed through the open window at the time of the accident. These injuries were all sustained during the summer months.
