Abstract
Nail gun injury of the hand is commonly encountered among workers in the construction industry. Successful management requires a thorough understanding of this unique injury, the recognition of nail shaft barbs, and appropriate nail removal and wound care, with referral when indicated. If barbs are encountered, nail removal involves cutting off the head of the nail and extracting the nail in the direction of entry.Mesh:
