AbstractApplying a postoperative dressing on a child's hand is a very important matter, for it must be done rigorously and according to well established principles in order to be effective and inoffensive. The strictness of execution, that holds the surgeon's attention, makes us sometimes forget that the dressing is for a child who is usually anxious. First, we recall the general principles of a postoperative dressing adapted to young children. Then, we explain a method of applying a dressing in the shape of a puppet, which at first can appear to be funny, but seriously which is completely adapted to a young child. This pediatrician adaptation, that parents appreciate very much, makes the situation less stressful because the child finds himself in a game situation. The puppet dressing seems to be an advantageous modification of the traditional dressing of a child's hand.
