MANGLED HAND,!.
' Gordon Valad, Ashfield
Town-
ship farmer, has 'undergone .thir-
a.culgus:•treattnerit to help repair -
some of the darnageclone, when,
his hand was mangled in a cora
picker late in January. Working
alone at .the back of •the zz farm •-•
Gordon' had'. to break and 'tear'
away what was .‘left . of -the fin,
gers to release himself from th
machine, and then stagger to. his •
hoArnmepfuoteathcoenlp,fsellew.ea. that
re-
moved' the 'hand all but the. •
thumb. The --he4t step was to
try to grow a palm of .flesh on .
the hand and this has been very.,
successful so that while Gordon., .
'hand. will be fingerless, he • Will.
have a .• partial . grip •iwith his
thuinb. and . new palm. .
This was eccoMplished by
ee.Wing .the hand into, ehrfaCe
incieion of the abdominal flesh.
and then to encase Gordon . in a .
body caSt :that kept the 'win ,and
hend iminaveeble.
•• The hand arid its new flesh
was .later .removed by surgery
..taid an extra lap of 'skin allowed
to fold back .' over the palne-The
results have • been amazing, to
