We describe a 16-year-old boy whose left forearm and hand were cut by a piece of glass from a broken window as a result of the fall. He had surgical repair of his left extensor pollicis brevis, abductor pollicis brevis, and dorsal branch of the left radial nerve. Following the surgery, he was put on a splint so as to immobilize the left forearm and wrist. On removal of the splint 4 weeks post surgery, he was noticed to have more hair growth on his left forearm and hand than his right counterparts. The patient was reassessed 2, 4, and 8 months after the removal of the splint. The hypertrichosis got better with time. At the last visit, the hair growth in the left forearm and hand was back to normal. Our patient represents the first reported case of localized acquired hypertrichosis following the application of a splint in the pediatric literature.
我们描述了一名16岁男孩，他因摔倒被破碎窗户的一块玻璃割伤了左前臂和手部。他接受了左拇短伸肌、拇短展肌和左桡神经手背支的手术修复。手术后，他被戴上夹板以固定左前臂和手腕。术后4周拆除夹板时，发现他左前臂和手部的毛发比右侧长得更多。在拆除夹板后的2个月、4个月和8个月对患者进行了重新评估。多毛症随着时间的推移有所改善。在最后一次就诊时，左前臂和手部的毛发生长恢复了正常。我们的患者是儿科文献中首例报道的因使用夹板后出现局限性获得性多毛症的病例。
