A 20-year-old man-injured 20-year-old man appeared on the night of Thursday to Friday in the emergency room of the Floreal clinic in Bagnolet (Seine-Saint-Denis). The medico-surgical center specializes, in particular, in hand and upper members surgery. He would have been “deposited by a nurse,” said a source close to the file.
He provided some explanations on the origin of his injury. It would be an accident. “He would have been close to a person who manipulated a handgun and the blow would have left,” reports our source. The facts would have occurred in Colombes (Hauts-de-Seine), the city of which the young man is from.
This version must still be corroborated by the police investigation. For the time being, the story of the injured is studied with great circumspection.
Pending surgical intervention, it is not possible to assess the severity and extent of the lesion. Doctor William Mamane, orthopedic surgeon and head of SOS Main in Seine-Saint-Denis, knows this type of injury well. According to him, the ball lesions are “quite rare”.
-“They can be caused during a sports shooting session,” he explains. This can range from a simple scratch to a transfixing wound (Editor's note: who crosses from side to side) which reaches the noble structures that are the tendons, the nerves, the vessels or the hard structures that are the bones ”. They can cause “stiffness if a tendon or joint are affected”.
One of his colleagues, Doctor Amir Hariri, adds: “If there is a loss of substance with destruction of the structure, a transplant may be necessary”. More rarely when “the wrist is reached, the patient can lose his hand”.
A police source stresses that “it is extremely rare that the hand is targeted” in the context of a settling of accounts, “unless it is a desire to mutilate”. In general, the legs are reached. We then talk about jamization.
