[The treatment of multiple contractures of the fingers]

Under analysis were results of treatment of 93 patients with multiple arthrogenic, dermatogenic and tenogenic contractures of fingers arising after mechanical, thermal and gunshot injuries. The method of distraction with the help of apparatuses developed in the clinic was applied to all the patients. Long-term results were followed-up in 79 patients during 1-12 years. In 73 of them positive results were noted which suggests high efficiency of the method.
