High-pressure water-gun injection injuries to the extremities. A report of six cases

JB Weltmer and LL Pack
McLaren General Hospital, Flint, Michigan 48532-3685.

High-pressure water-gun injection injuries are different from injection injuries that are caused by other agents, in that they are associated with extensive subcutaneous emphysema but only slight soft-tissue inflammation or destruction. The cases of six patients who had such an injury were reviewed. It was found that local irrigation and debridement, together with a short course of penicillin or a broad-spectrum cephalosporin, resulted in complete recovery from this relatively benign variant of high-pressure injection injury.
