Annually more than 40000 children visit the Emergency Department (A & E) of a hospital in the United Kingdom for treatment of finger injuries. Most finger crush injuries occur among young children at home or at school. In this situation it’s the maximum chance for an accidental finger between the door or between the door frame.
Most of these victims were younger than 15 years, more than half of them aged between 1 and 4 years old. Crush injuries take place at both the opening and hinge side of doors. Most pinch the fingers (78%), followed by the hand (7%) and foot (4%). An open wound on the fingers (34% of all victims) is the most common injury. The majority of finger incidents occur at home as children are playing, but also at schools and nurseries.
