We have all heard the old aphorism, "Necessity is the mother of invention." While the provenance of the proverb is uncertain, its truth is not in doubt. This is true for the development of hand surgery in Malaysia. As part of the management for leprosy, patients with high ulnar nerve palsies were managed by the pioneers of hand surgery in Malaysia. They did tendon transfers to improve the quality of life of these patients. Since then, hand surgery in Malaysia have grown leaps and bounds. From a small humble beginning in the suburb of Sungai Buloh to organizing the 10th Congress of Asian Pacific Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand, hand surgery in Malaysia will only get better with time.
“需要乃发明之母”。虽然这句谚语的出处不明,但它的真实性毋庸置疑。马来西亚手部外科的发展便是如此。作为麻风病治疗管理的一部分,患有高位尺神经麻痹的患者由马来西亚手部外科的先驱进行治疗。他们进行肌腱转移手术以改善这些患者的生活质量。从那时起,马来西亚的手部外科取得了长足的发展。从双溪毛糯郊区一个不起眼的小起点,到举办第十届亚太手外科学会联合会大会,马来西亚的手部外科将随着时间的推移而不断进步。
