The Musician’s Hand, An Issue of Hand Clinics

Description

The August 1990 issue of the Hand Clinics, entitled ‘‘Hand Injuries in Sports and Performing Arts,’’ was an important one. This was the first substantive publication on musicians in the English hand surgical literature—slightly more than half of the articles were devoted to musicians’ injuries. Many of these articles have subsequently been recognized as definitive. Now, more than 12 years later, an opportunity to update this information has arisen. Many of the writers who contributed to the August 1990 issue are again contributing to this issue, but this time the entire issue is devoted to the subject of musicians’ hand problems. Why is there so much interest in this topic when the vast majority of musicians’ problems are nonsurgical and most surgeons have only the time or interest to study specific surgical topics? It is appropriate that this issue of the Hand Clinics is one of the international series, because it is only through international cooperation and sharing of knowledge that the very narrow specialty of musicians’ hand problems will be allowed to grow and mature. Many European countries now have national organizations involved in performing
arts medicine, as does the United States. Each organization functions within the socio-economic and medico-economic environment of its country, and there are now established formal links between most of these organizations. Four of the more prominent organizations and their national roles are described in the appendix to this issue.
