Orthopaedic and plastic surgeons work alongside rheumatologists, neurologists, psychologists, and specialist hand therapists, in specialist teams. Yet regardless of all this expertise, outcomes will be limited if the patient is not actively involved in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hand is incredibly complicated, with 27 bones, 24 muscle groups, and three motor and sensory nerve pathways that lead us to conduct innumerable patterns of activity and function including feeling, gripping, manipulation, stability, and communication. As it may be the only part of us on display at all times, the hand also has a high cosmetic importance. Assuming early, accurate diagnosis and a high quality intervention take place, it is the six weeks following surgery or injury that is critical for optimising the outcome. A tailored programme of rehabilitation must be established for each patient with a combination of rest and protection through splintage and judicious exercises to mobilise the painful joint in order to minimise stiffness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the Montgomery Ruling has made it mandatory to ensure that patients are aware of all options available for treatment, as well as the potential consequences of declining a particular option, it must be recognised as different from helping patients to become active participants in the decision making process. \u00a0As medical professionals, we use the word \u201ccompliance\u201d to indicate that a patient is doing what we have asked them to do to aid recovery; this terminology does not recognise the patient as a genuine partner in the process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is particularly pertinent in trauma cases, when patients are dealing with an unexpected adverse event and injury. Whereas patients undergoing elective procedures will have been warned about and planned for the consequences of surgery, people coping with an accident have to deal with both the disruption of the incident and concerns about their ability to look after themselves and their families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Twenty percent of visits to A&amp;E departments in England are for hand trauma<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, predominantly affecting young working men. [1] Whether as the result of a sporting or leisure injury, or a workplace accident, individuals will be anxious to get back to work as quickly as possible. Unless we recognise this from the outset\u2014and involve patients closely in the decision making process\u2014we can\u2019t expect patients to fully engage with the rehabilitation process during that critical six weeks after injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are usually several options for treatment and selection should be informed by each patient\u2019s needs and priorities. It must be remembered that the ideal outcome as perceived by the surgeon may not necessarily match that of the patient, if the sacrifices incurred in obtaining that goal are too great. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Occasionally this may not be possible. Modification of a given treatment may result in such unacceptable compromise to the outcome that it cannot be justified. In such cases, honest conversations about the reasons and importance of the recovery regime are critical. Patients need to know that we are doing everything possible, not just for their hand, but because we understand the role their hand plays in enabling them to live their life. We are on the same side and part of their team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By focusing on consent and compliance we are limiting our ability to help. Instead, hand surgeons and hand therapists need to include two addition Cs in their decision making processes; conversation and\u2014where appropriate\u2014choice. Getting this right, especially in the pressured trauma situation, will ultimately help improve &#8220;compliance&#8221; and lead to a better outcome for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>David Shewring<\/strong>, President of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">British Society for Surgery of the Hand<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<strong>Competing interests<\/strong>: None declared.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>1]\u00a0<i>BSSH: Hand Surgery in the UK report 2007<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British Society for Surgery of the Hand was founded by specialists from multiple disciplines collaborating to help people with injured and hands visibly affected by the condition receive the [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2018\/06\/15\/david-shewring-end-compliance-mindset-to-assist-recovery\/\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[223],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guest-bloggers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
