Abstract

The hand is one of the most important parts of the human body and its ability to perform everyday tasks is fundamental to the performance of daily life. The epidemiology of catastrophic hand injuries is varied, depending on the type of injury. These can be caused by car accidents, sports accidents, industrial accidents, and in some cases, acts of violence. Catastrophic hand injuries can also result from diseases, such as osteomyelitis or hand cancer. Advances in medical technology and surgical procedures have allowed surgeons to improve precision and control in repairing injuries to nerves, blood vessels, bones, tendons and skin.
