What Researchers Did
Researchers described a case of a mountain climber with frostbite in all fingers who was treated with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO).
What They Found
They found that all fingers of the single patient eventually healed to full function. Only the tip of the most severely affected finger showed some cosmetic deformity.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it is a case report from outside Canada.
Study Limitations
As a single case report, the findings cannot be generalized to a larger patient population.
