Material and methods: 50 complete clinical records with a diagnosis of complex hand trauma were analyzed from January 2019 to August 2020. The perspective of the study is to determine the costs of medical care for complex hand trauma in active workers. Results: 50 clinical records of patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of trauma severe de mano, insured workers with a work risk opinion, were reviewed. Conclusion: the presence of these injuries in the active age of our patients speaks to us of the great importance of timely and adequate care for severe hand trauma, which has a significant impact on the country's economy. Hence the great need to establish methods of prevention of such injuries in companies and the need to establish medical care protocols for these injuries and seek to reduce surgical procedures to resolve this pathology.
