Abstract:
The treatment of mutilating hand injuries demands exact knowledge of the anatomy of the hand. Minor faults in the operative treatment may lead to severe permanent functional impairment of the hand. Today, primary reconstruction of all injured structures is performed. The aim is reconstruction of function as well as cosmesis of the hand. The principle components of reconstruction are: position, prehension, sensibility, trophic, and cover of the hand.
