Popis: Postoperative management of hand trauma is as critical in restoring function as the surgery itself. An integrated program emphasizing edema and pain control, patient education, good positioning, appropriate exercises and splinting, and the use of the hand in functional activities must be designed for each patient individually. In this way, the patient can participate in his or her own rehabilitation.
