The hand surgeon is trained in the treatment of complex hand injuries, including lacerations. It is particularly important in injuries such as this that not only the skin is replaced where it can be lost but also to use the best available quality of skin for use in the fingertips and gripping surfaces of the hand. Sometimes skin grafts are used, sometimes local tissue is rearranged, flaps are used to cover open wounds from other parts of the body.
