title: [Digital strangulation--released by the use of a dentist's drill].
abstract: A six year-old girl got her third right finger stuck into a padlock-fitting made of hardened steel. It was impossible to loosen the finger using the conventional methods of oil, soap, cooling, compression or wind-unwind technique. The fitting was split using a dentist's high speed drill and then easily removed leaving the finger uninjured.
