Abstract
We report a 62-year-old man who was pierced by buttons and rivets through his middle finger tip. There have been no previously reported cases of piercing by metal buttons and rivets attaching to jeans. The rivet is fixed to the shape by the same crushed after that the other side has a slightly larger diameter head on one side of the cylindrical body, through the hole in the object. Be integrated with jeans buttons and rivets join, remove easily, I will not be able to. I found that the diameter is sandwiched between the teeth of the pliers to the skin surface of the button is larger than the rivet can be removed easily and knead.
Finger block anesthesia should be performed for reducing the pain associated with surgical removal. The wound should be washed thoroughly after removal and tetanus toxoid injection administered, leaving the wound open.
