Frostbite may cause lesions. The severity ranges from superficial wounds to severe cases with loss of limbs and tissue. Hence, proper treatment is of utmost importance. We present a case of an 18-year-old man from Arctic Greenland who was admitted with severe frostbite lesions involving both hands. The patient had fallen asleep outside during extreme temperatures. He was treated conservatively with proper wound care, antibiotics and intensive physical therapy. The patient made a full recovery without sequelae. The current report emphasises that non-operative treatment should be attempted for frostbite lesions, as conservative treatment often results in good outcomes.
冻伤可能会导致损伤。其严重程度从浅表伤口到肢体和组织丧失的严重病例不等。因此，恰当的治疗至关重要。我们报告一例来自北极格陵兰岛的18岁男性病例，该患者因双手严重冻伤入院。患者在极端温度下于户外入睡。他接受了包括适当伤口护理、抗生素和强化物理治疗在内的保守治疗。患者完全康复，无后遗症。本报告强调，对于冻伤损伤应尝试非手术治疗，因为保守治疗通常能取得良好效果。
