Résumé
Gunshot injuries to the hand and upper extremity can be divided into low and high-energy injuries. Nonballistic firearms such as pellet guns are generally considered low-energy guns but can be associated with serious morbidity and even mortality. Management is tailored according to the severity and type of injured structures. Here, we present the case of a 21-year-old soldier who accidently shot his thumb with an air gun while on a bird hunting trip, whose case was managed with extraction placement of bone graft and collagen matrix to prevent nail deformity. This case was written to increase the awareness about the need for safe use of such guns and to display the authors preferred way of management.
