Abstract

Review of records in cases of injury to the hand that come before the California Industrial Accident Commission indicate that:1. Primary closure at a suitable level in finger amputations is often preferable to plastic repair.2. Complications incident to plastic repair in minor injuries frequently increase disability and cost to employer.3. Tendon injury resulting from strain is a frequently overlooked cause of disability.
