[Treatment indications for hand agenesis or acquired loss: Standard technics versus allotransplantation (CTA)].
The new surgery thinking, in matter of hand loss, is made of two ways: without hand, there is no more functional abilities; homograft or allograft of hand is the best actual treatment. This is not true and we are able to get new functional abilities by other ways: without any treatment, we are able of spontaneous functional recovery. There are other treatments: the old operation of Krukenberg or new bionic prosthesis. This work is a recall of obvious or forgotten facts.
