Özet
An emergency cesarean surgery resulted in extensor tendon lacerations in a 27-week-old preterm fetus. This injury is unique because fetal hand lacerations rarely occur, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest case of hand injury during cesarean delivery reported in the literature. This case report sets the framework for a more in-depth investigation of the incidence and treatment options for fetal lacerations, with an emphasis on the less common but clinically important hand lacerations that can occur during cesarean section. Level of evidence: Therapeutic IV.
