Abstract:
Early mobilisation made possible by surgical stabilisation is considered to be the main pre-condition for complete restoration of function after trauma to the hand skeleton. Nevertheless, it should be borne in mind that exceptional capacity of the hand for adaptation may enable that even severely defective results (deviation of axis) can be functionally compensated. This article presents modalities of treatment approved by the author during more than 20 years of hand surgery.
