[Treatment of deep burns and frostbite of the hand and fingers]

Under observation there were 186 patients with thermal burns and 59 patients with frostbites of hands and fingers. Free skin plasty with a splitted autotransplant was used in 29 patients. Plasty on a temporary feeding pedicle was used in 39 patients. Better results were obtained in remote terms in patients after non-free dermoplasty. In patients with burns and frostbites of the IVth degree no labour rehabilitation was achieved.
