[Rational methods of cutaneous plastic surgery using local tissues in open injuries of the hand]

Based on the experience with treating 214 patients, the authors distinguished the most frequent types of traumas to the hand, or fingers, which required the performance of the cutaneoplastic operations, and systematized the variants of such operations with the use of local cutaneous flaps. The primary cutaneous plasty, and as well the complex postoperative treatment of the patients with open injuries to the hand permitted to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications from 46 down to 15%, shorten the duration of treatment by 1-2 weeks.
