%X High-pressure water jets are commonly used for complex industrial cleaning jobs, yet we found few reports of injuries attributed to these potentially dangerous devices. We present a case of severe laceration to the lower extremity caused by a high-pressure water jet with concomitant major vascular injury, apparently the first reported. Principles of evaluation and treatment are reviewed and documented.
