title: [Photography in Hand Surgery. Basic knowledge and standards].
abstract: Photo documentation plays an important role in hand surgery. Pre- and postoperative documentation, planning of interventions, patient information as well as publications and presentations all require high quality images. Last but not least an accurate documentation is necessary for legal reasons. We present basic knowledge of equipment, photo and processing methods and illustrate imaging techniques and photographic standards for  professional work flows in daily hand surgery.
