Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Mangled hand injuries present significant functional and aesthetic challenges.
  • Existing treatment options include surgical reconstruction and prosthetic devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of passive prostheses in improving outcomes for mangled hands.
  • To assess the combined benefits of prostheses and surgical reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of outcomes for patients treated with passive prostheses.
  • Analysis of cases involving combined surgical reconstruction and prosthetic use.
  • Assessment of prosthesis quality and after-delivery service impact.

Main Results:
