title: Biophysics of rotary mower and snowblower injuries of the hand: high vs. low velocity "missile" injury.
abstract: We have shown a basic biophysical difference between clinically similar hand injuries and suggest that some rotary lawn mower injuries more closely resemble high-velocity missile injuries. A treatment protocol is suggested.
