Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hand surgery is fast-developing specialty connecting surgeons of different specialties and hand therpists. From the very beginning, there was a high demand for the scientific justification of the solutions and procedures used to treat our patients. On the other hand, through the determination of the pioneers and their followers, we can offer predictable treatment for most hand conditions despite the lack of hard evidence.
THe state of the art can be interpreted in different ways. I am happy to open and lead this Special Issue and to include both review papers summarizing actual knowledge and practice but also research manuscripts that investigate our present work or new ideas. It is a perfect combination of what we already know and do and also what we could do in a better way, including criticism, which is so important to further development.
We invite you to contribute, as we all need good science in the background of our daily practice.
Prof. Dr. Leszek Romanowski
