Partial hand and finger amputations in Sweden: an observational study of 6918 patients
Although, lacking in definition, publicly available data can be used for monitoring of finger, thumb, and partial hand amputation incidence on a national level. Sex, age, and regional differences were observed, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address disparities and mitigate the burden of finger and partial hand amputations on affected individuals.
