Hand Bionic Score: a clinical follow-up study of severe hand injuries and development of a recommendation score to supply bionic prosthesis

Background Severe hand injuries significantly limit function and esthetics of the affected hand due to massive trauma in skeletal and soft tissues. Surgical reconstruction is often unsatisfactory, so bionic prostheses are a consideration. However, assessment of functional outcomes and quality of life after surgical reconstruction to guide clinical decisions immediately after injury and in the course of treatment remain difficult. Methods We...
