Abstract
The rehabilitation of patients after terrorist attacks has received scant attention in the literature. A case is reported of a patient injured in a letter-bomb explosion; his injuries were bilateral hand loss, loss of one eye, and perforated ear-drums. The successful rehabilitation of this patient to normal work in 8 months is described. A rehabilitation plan for management of similar patients is given.
