Main Article Content
Abstract
Angle grinders are undeniably one of the most perilous tools utilized in industry and agriculture, with over 5000 injuries documented, and they can even be fatal if major blood vessels in the neck are ruptured and neurological damage occurs. Angle grinders can cause severe injuries to the head, neck, and face because their high-speed discs do not respect the body's natural boundaries or structures. These injuries can be disfiguring, permanently disabling, or even fatal. To attain aesthetically pleasing outcomes, it is imperative to thoroughly cleanse the wound, excise any damaged tissue, and meticulously close the wound in layers. The article presents a case of a penetrating injury caused by using an angle grinder and discusses effective management and prevention of such injuries.
