Helmut Seiller (38) from Waidhofen an der Ybbs speaks to the “crown” over his hand, which had crushed a backhoe shovel. A team of doctors struggled to regain the mobility and mobility of the hand during a nine-hour operation.
„krone“: Her hand was completely crushed three months ago while working on a digger arm.
Helmut Seiller: Yes, I was reaching under the backhoe’s shovel when it suddenly went down. Which really shouldn’t have happened. Actually I wanted to put a piece of wood under it. I’ve done it before, it’s always gone well.
„krone“:The entire metacarpal and fingers were fractured to the right of the wrist, tendons, blood vessels and nerves were crushed and torn. You have had surgery for nine hours, your hand has been saved. How are you now?
Seiller: I am in rehab in Bad Häring in Tyrol. After the injury I still have no feeling in my hand. I’m still not cold or hot. The doctors immediately said that in a year’s time they would have to treat the nerves, maybe transplant nerves.
“Krone”: What about mobility?
Seiller: It’s about the wrist. I can turn this up, down and left and right. I am limited with my thumb. And with the fingers nothing works at the moment.
