Which elective hand surgery would benefit most from preoperative therapy interventions to enhance surgical outcomes? A survey of hand therapists
The survey offers insight into hand therapists' perspectives on preoperative therapy. TZ and DF stand out as having significant potential for optimisation. Uncertainty surrounding efficacy of therapy on Dupuytren's Disease indicates the necessity for further research. Education is considered an essential preoperative component. The small sample size warrants caution when interpreting results.
