Few cases of high pressure water injection injuries of the foot have been reported. These cases suggest that only minimal soft tissue destruction results and that, with con servative or limited surgical management, full recovery should be expected. 1 , 9 This is a report of two cases of this “benign variant” of high pressure water injection injury that resulted in toe amputations.

High-pressure injection injuries are reported often in the hand and occasionally in the foot. Injection with water and air causes minimal tissue damage but nevertheless requires irrigation, minimal debridement, administration of antibiotics, and concern for development of compartment syndrome. The outcome for patients injected with water and air should be excellent. Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen causes immediate resolution of subcutaneous emphysema, edema, and pain for more rapid rehabilitation.

ABSTRACTHigh-pressure injection injuries to the hand are work-related injuries that can take a devastating toll on the functionality of the affected extremity. Chemical injections are a surgical emergency. Injuries involving only water injection are rarer and have variable management strategies. We report a case of high-pressure injection hand injury due to water only. The patient was managed non-operatively with parenteral antibiotics, narcotics and elevation, with good outcome. We present a review of the literature on high-pressure injection injury.

Channeling flow frequently occurs during the high pressure water injection of low permeability reservoir. The injection process is complex and covers so many parameters of which the contribution to channeling flow is necessarily to be studied. In this paper, numerical simulation is combined with sensitivity analysis method to calculate the significance of the weight of parameters to the channeling flow. First the values of different parameters are produced by using Latin hypercube method; second, by using these parameters, finite element model have been established and simulated, and the quantity of channeling flow has been calculated; then Spearman rank relation is applied to measure the relation of parameters and channeling flow. The results states that, in 10 years continuous injection, the well spacing and injection pressure have significant impact on the channeling flow. This states that during the application of high pressure water injection, the pressure and well spacing should be controlled especially.
