Abstract
The nuances of physical therapy necessary in the trauma patient are discussed. This article also discusses either the treatment of fractures via therapy or the treatment of nerve, tendon, or arterial injuries. It also describes physical therapy guidelines relevant to the patient with hand trauma and reviews communication between the physician and therapist in managing these patients. Intervention concepts are illustrated through case studies of patients with complex hand injuries.
