Rehabilitation after amputations in the hand.
It is important to recognize the psychological and cosmetic aspects of amputation. More data are needed regarding the functional loss at various amputation levels so that patients can be counseled more effectively. Rehabilitation and reconstructive surgery can then produce results that will be more meaningful to the patient in terms of employment and everyday use of the hand.
