[Statistical studies on hand accidents (author's transl)].
Statistics furnished by the French Social Security System covering 18 years (1957-1975) show not only the  marked frequency of injuries of the hand their financial, economic and social importance, but also an astonishing consistency of numbers over the years. This lack of improvement shows that (except in certain rare specialized centers) in general the treatment of hand injuries has minimally improved over the course of the last few decades while the rest of traumatology has made spectacular progress. This disastrous state of affairs should be addressed by medical and administrative authorities by improving the education and organizing the treatment of hand injuries.
