Abstract:
HAND ACCIDENT PREVENTION. Advances in surgical techniques and a better organization with SOS mains structures have improved the management of hand injuries. However, there are still too many accidents, which can lead to functional and aesthetic after-effects, as well as their socio-professional consequences. The prevention of hand injuries is therefore mandatory. It is organized with three levels: primary prevention, that aims to prevent the occurrence of the accident itself; secondary prevention, to guide and provide the best emergency care for the patient; and tertiary prevention, to avoid deprofessionalization and provide support for any physical and psychological after-effects.
