The Underestimation of a Glass Injury to the Hand
LCDR Matthew T. Provencher, MC, USNR, LT Lee R. Allen, MC, USNR, LCDR Merrill J. Gladden, MC, USNR, and Alexander Y. Shin, MD

This study sought to determine the accuracy of a physical examination by a specialty-trained orthopedic hand surgeon compared with the findings in the OR after a shattered-glass injury to the hand.
