Abstract

A not uncommon injury of the hands among agricultural workers is impalement on the sharp ends of tomato-vine or bean-vine stakes that shatter as they are being driven. Careful debridement and tetanus prophylaxis are important in treatment. There are several simple precautions and changes in work methods that could greatly reduce the incidence of such injuries.
