title: [An interesting case: late sequelae of a primary asymptomatic glass fragment injury of the wrist].
abstract: Report of a female patient, aged 29 at the time of a glass-fragment laceration, who complained six years after the injury of paraesthesia at the index finger. At the surgical exploration, a glass fragment was found in the tendon of the palmaris longus, which had irritated the median nerve. In the discussion of problems of injuries with broken glass, exact primary, diagnostics and open exploration is required.
