Over a seven-year period, 136 children and adolescents with hand injuries were prospectively studied at the Accident and Emergency Department of Asir Central Hospital, Abha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to determine the pattern of hand injury. The male:female ratio was 1.7:1.0, both left and right hands were relatively equally injured. The age group ranged from two months to 16 years (average 5.3 years). The finger most commonly injured was the middle finger (24.6%) followed by the index finger (18.7%). The most common type of hand injury was crush injuries caused by doors at home (52.2%), heavy objects (6.6%) and injuries caused by grinding machines (6.6%). Since youngsters are often unaware of the dangers in their environment it is necessary to redesign the doors of our homes with safety devices to prevent injuries. Application of hydraulic automatic door closures is a simple but useful way of ensuring smooth and safe closing of doors in homes.
在七年的时间里，沙特阿拉伯王国阿卜哈市阿西尔中心医院急诊科对136名手部受伤的儿童和青少年进行了前瞻性研究，以确定手部损伤的模式。男女比例为1.7:1.0，左手和右手受伤情况相对均等。年龄范围从两个月到16岁（平均5.3岁）。最常受伤的手指是中指（24.6%），其次是食指（18.7%）。最常见的手部损伤类型是家中门造成的挤压伤（52.2%）、重物造成的损伤（6.6%）以及研磨机造成的损伤（6.6%）。由于年轻人往往没有意识到周围环境中的危险，有必要重新设计我们家中带有安全装置的门以防止受伤。应用液压自动闭门器是确保家中门平稳安全关闭的一种简单而有用的方法。
