title: [The organization of hand rehabilitation in France in 1993].
abstract: Analysis of a questionnaire sent to members of the French Hand Society revealed the following information: the concept of a surgical team is very important, physiotherapists are usually our primary coworkers. Splints are frequently prescribed and must correspond to precise criteria. Surgeons are globally satisfied with their practice and their results, but are dissatisfied with the nomenclature concerning medical splints. Analysis of this nomenclature reveals marked inequalities concerning prices and refunds.
