abstract="Besides bruises saw injuries of the hand are the most common severe hand injuries. A total of 294 of 400 patients who had a saw injury between 1982 and 1986 were monitored in the course of a followup examination spanning the time of the accident up to re-entry into professional life. Causes of accidents as well as injury patterns, surgical treatment and aftereffects were analysed. The high number of injuries (70.8%) sustained while not working was remarkable as well as the fact that despite the seriousness of the injury 64.6% of the patients were content with the cosmetic results of treatment and 65% satisfied with the recovered function of the injured hand.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
