Abstract
Multiple hand trauma from explosive devices is a public health problem. Thus, this article presents a literature review with the objective of identifying practices in the treatment of these lesions. The search was conducted in the MEDLINE database, using specific terms related to explosion injuries, covering the last 10 years. We selected 5 studies that met the inclusion criteria, such as focusing on hand injuries and detailing treatment approaches. The selection was made based on methodological quality and clinical relevance. The studies revealed a high incidence of amputations and fractures. In addition, they highlighted the need for pharmacological and surgical interventions, with an emphasis on pain relief and infection prevention. A significant gap was also observed in the training of health professionals to deal with traumas of this nature, evidencing the need for specialized training. Despite the contributions, the review revealed the scarcity of robust research on the topic, indicating the need for more studies exploring different therapeutic approaches and rehabilitation protocols.
