Abstract
A study of the hands of 360 hanseniasis patients of the Virchowian type showed that muscular atrophy is the most common deformity and that reabsortion of the left minumus is the rarest: Reconstructive and plastic surgery are effective only in early
cases. A continuous and systematic education of the patients still is the basic measure.
