title: [State of the art of the French Society for Hand Surgery Internet Websites Members].
abstract: The aim of this work was to identify the websites of the members of the French Society for Hand Surgery, examine the container and the content, and propose a common code of ethics. The census of Websites of the French Society for Hand Surgery Internet members was obtained through a survey questionnaire with 17 items online on the mode of exercise of the surgeon and the website itself. Forty-six out of 568 members of the SFCM responded to the questionnaire: 9 junior members, 6 associate members and 31 full members. A total of 12.5 % had the HONcode certification. They included educational materials for patients in 80.95 % of non-urgent conditions, and 68.42 % of emergency. Answers to questions about attendance and the cost of maintenance of websites were unusable. It would be interesting to create a specific code of ethics for hand surgery, free, certified by the SFCM, in partnership with the High Authority in Health (HAS, in French).
