Doors and door related injuries have been reported in the literature but most often they are related to crushing of the fingers, particularly the tips. Minor injuries often involve bruising or a blackened fingernail when a hand is caught in the latch end of the door as someone carelessly closes it. Sometimes the injury is more serious such as degloving injuries or fractures [1]. Injuries related to door handles have been very infrequently reported. Pointed door handles have been reported to pose a significant risk of ocular and peri-ocular injuries among young children [2, 3]. We report an unusual injury where a door handle was found completely embedded into the hand of a woman.
Or in other case:
"OUCH! Schoolboy impales his arm on a DOOR HANDLE"
A BRAVE youngster has relived the horrifying moment he almost severed a major artery in his arm after impaling himself on a DOOR HANDLE.
