Abstract
Maximalization of motion after healing is a primary goal of treatment when the surgeon is presented with a hand injury. The contribution of muscle/tendon, capsule and ligament, and the joint surface to the problem of posttraumatic stiffness is reviewed. Treatment possibilities for posttraumatic stiffness are presented and the importance of remobilization to the outcome of the care delivered is emphasized.
