Cooking, DIY, driving; these daily activities can cause a lot of trauma to our hands. Some may be benign such as bites, cuts, sprains of the finger or burns, but others, more severe, and require heavy interventions even in the most extreme cases, amputation. Each year in France, between 1.5 million and 2 million people are affected by hand accidents.
