Date palm thorn injuries require a high level of clinical suspicion and careful management as they can lead to severe complications, such as tissue inflammation, synovitis, and extensive haematoma. Although it is associated with serious injuries, this type of injury is often underdiagnosed and is not sufficiently reported in the literature. We describe a case report of an 18-year-old male patient who presented with significant progressive swelling of the right hand that extended to the distal third of the forearm, having received a date thorn injury the day before. The patient underwent multiple incisions and hand fasciotomy to reduce the haematoma and relieve compartment pressure in his hand.
枣椰树刺损伤需要高度的临床怀疑和仔细的处理，因为它们可能导致严重的并发症，如组织炎症、滑膜炎和广泛的血肿。尽管这种损伤与严重伤害相关，但这类损伤常常诊断不足，且在文献中报道不够充分。我们描述了一例18岁男性患者的病例报告，该患者右手出现明显的进行性肿胀，肿胀延伸至前臂远端三分之一处，他在前一天受到了枣椰树刺损伤。患者接受了多次切开和手部筋膜切开术，以减少血肿并缓解手部的骨筋膜室压力。
