[Hand reconstruction and prosthesis].

An experience of the work has shown that of 36 patients with severe defects of the hand after amputations who had been completely informed and free to decide, plastic operations were made on the majority (25) of the patients, microsurgical transplantations of toes (15) included. However 11 patients were satisfied with the prostheses alone. A complex method of rehabilitation was worked out including surgical plasty of one of the two clutch branches and the prosthezing of the other (11 patients).
