A 22-year-old female patient was treated for a severe injury of the right hand following a work trauma under a hot press. This lesion had caused a compartmental syndrome with extensive necrosis of superficial and deep tissues and composite multiple metacarpal bone fractures. After 4 weeks and 6 different debridements for progressive enlargement of the necrotic area, the exact extent of the trauma was visible and involved palm and dorsum circumferentially.
