Ten common interventions in hand trauma sometimes considered difficult are discussed: Door finger; Fracture of the diaphyses of the phalanges and metacarpals; Dislocations and fractures, dislocation of the fingers; Loss of bone substance from fingers treated by induced membrane technique; Sprain of the metacarpophalangeal gland of the thumb; Traumatic lesions of the extensor tendons; Mallet Finger; Traumatic lesions of the flexor tendons; Jersey Finger; Wounds of nerves and arteries. The manual addresses each pathology according to a recurring plan which includes: the basic concepts, the objectives of the intervention, how to set the operative indication, the approaches, the post-operative consequences and the management of failures.
