The use of digital picture for surgical and rehabilitation records. Methods and results

Digital pictures are performed on patients in the pre and postoperative periods, and sometimes during surgery. Seven thousand fourty eight records have been recorded. This method is useful for a multidisciplinary responsibility, particularly for the hand therapist and the splint follow-up. It is also good for patient information, for Workman’s compensation doctors and for experts. The pitfall is that one have to manage the records on a strict day by day base. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
