Hans-Eric RosbergLars B DahlinPublished in: BMC geriatrics (2018)
We found an increased number of hand injuries over a 30-year period in combination with a decrease in patients reported health treated at a hand surgery ward. Further studies regarding hand trauma in the elderly population will be valuable for future prevention and rehabilitation of this patient group.
