title: High-pressure injection injuries of the hand.
abstract: Various types of high-pressure equipment, including airless paint sprayers, hydraulic apparatus and grease guns, are used in industry, in farming and in the home. Injection injuries from this equipment usually involve the hand and may initially appear benign. However, these injuries must be treated quickly and aggressively to prevent significant long-term disability.
