title: [Particularities of physical treatment after hand injuries in childhood (author's transl)].
abstract: Physiotherapy treatment of hand injuries is reported, which can be used also on the bandage hand, to avoid contractures. The treatmet must be continued 1-2 years post-operatively. Flexural contractions must be avoid following surgery on tendons or joints. Splints are advocated to help in the management. Considerable patience is required when treating children. Splints should be static or dynamic and should be made individually from orthoplast.
