Chronic embedded-ring injury is a rare and uncommon presentation. This is also known as "chronic ring erosion" or "embedded ring syndrome" in the literature. Injury of this type has been associated with psychological impairment causing neglect of such injury. We herein describe a case of double embedded rings on the right ring finger in a 30-year-old healthy construction worker. A primary amputation at the metacarpophalangeal joint was performed in view of the chronicity of his condition and associated neurovascular damage. Early removal of ring is of paramount importance in any ring-associated injuries. However, fear of losing a digit has been the reason of delay in seeking medical treatment, which in turn ended up in dire consequences.
慢性嵌入式戒指损伤是一种罕见且不常见的表现。在文献中，这种损伤也被称为“慢性戒指侵蚀”或“嵌入式戒指综合征”。这种类型的损伤与心理损伤有关，导致人们忽视了这种损伤。我们在此描述了一名 30 岁健康建筑工人右手无名指的双嵌入式戒指损伤。鉴于他的病情慢性和相关的神经血管损伤，我们进行了掌指关节的初级截肢。在任何与戒指相关的损伤中，尽早取出戒指至关重要。然而，担心失去一个手指一直是延迟就医的原因，这反过来又导致了严重的后果。
