The Clinical Department for Rehabilitation Medicine at the MHH offers follow-up treatment for complex hand and/or tendon injuries and other diseases of the hand. In the so-called "fast-track" treatment, inpatients at the MHH can, after prior registration, present themselves in the Clinical Department's outpatient clinic just one day after their discharge for the start of further outpatient treatment.
There is intensive interdisciplinary and multi-professional cooperation with the physicians from the Plastic Hand and Reconstructive Surgery, Trauma Surgery, Pain Therapy, Psychosomatic Medicine and the team of physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and hydrotherapists from the Clinical Department of Rehabilitation Medicine.
The focus of treatment is on restoring or improving hand function in everyday life and at work, for example by providing splints, supports, finger orthoses or compression therapy. The course of therapy is documented using specific progress questionnaires and discussed in team meetings between physicians and therapists.
