Abstract
Different frames of reference can affect one's assessment of the value of h and transplantation. This can result in different yet rational decisions by different groups of individuals, especially patients and physicians. In ad dition, factors other than frames of reference can affect one's evaluation of hand transplantation, which can result in different decisions. (J Hand S urg 2001; 26A:196-200.
