Injuries and diseases of the hand naturally have an enormous impact on hand function and on quality of life, both occupational and social. The majority of hand-injury patients are under 30 years of age. Hand surgery, an established specialty in Sweden since 1969, is of great importance in terms of clinical developments, education and research. In the coming decade, scientific and clinical advances are to be expected in several fields such as nerve injuries including brachial plexus lesion, microsurgery, flexor tendon injuries and tendon transfer. Bioimplant research and new advances at the biotechnological interface will yield new options in nerve reconstruction, microchip implants in the nervous system, and the restoration of muscle-tendon function following injury. Artificial limbs with advanced motor and sensory functions will be important future aids in the rehabilitation of amputees. Transplantation of human hands is another promising reconstructive procedure which may open iup new perspectives in the coming millennium.
手部的损伤和疾病自然会对手部功能以及职业和社会生活质量产生巨大影响。大多数手部损伤患者年龄在30岁以下。自1969年起，手部外科在瑞典已成为一门成熟的专科，在临床发展、教育和研究方面都具有重要意义。在未来十年，预计在几个领域将取得科学和临床进展，如包括臂丛神经损伤在内的神经损伤、显微外科、屈肌腱损伤和肌腱转移。生物植入物研究以及生物技术界面的新进展将为神经重建、神经系统微芯片植入和损伤后肌肉肌腱功能的恢复带来新的选择。具有先进运动和感觉功能的假肢将成为未来截肢者康复的重要辅助工具。人类手部移植是另一种有前景的重建手术，可能会在未来千年开辟新的前景。
