Abstract
Primary treatment and secondary reconstructive surgery of severe mutilating hand injuries are associated with challenging problems. Conventional and microneurovascular reconstructive methods must be integrated into the therapeutical rationale. The technical and tactical principles essential to obtain an optimal rehabilitational result are discussed. Simple sensitive grip tools will provide better functional long time results than modern prosthetic devices.
