The value of ergotherapy (ET) was examined again. Two groups of patients were compared. 223 patients-treated with and 344 patients-attended without ET. It could be shown, that ET reduce the disablement in cases of fractures of metacarpalia and phalanges 1. In all cases with ET is the function of the injured hand something better and the rehabilitation more extensive. This could be underlined to, by measurement of ADUK.
