Pune | Friday | 15th February, 2019

Summary:

A 70-year-old farmer whose fingers were amputated in an accident on January 26 was discharged from hospital recently after all his fingers were reattached in an 11-hour-long operation. AdvertisingThe farmer accidentally injured all his fingers while working on his farm in Baramati so badly that only one of his little fingers remained hanging by thin skin. After the 11-hour operation, he was kept under observation for a week, after which he had regained movement in his fingers. The amputated part should never be placed directly on ice because this could result in frostbite injury to the vessels. After receiving first aid at a private hospital, he was admitted to Inamdar Hospital in Fatimanagar hours after the injury at 5 pm..
