[Treatment of scalping wounds of the fingers]

An experience with the treatment of 63 patients with scalped one or several fingers is analyzed. A classification of such traumas is proposed. Plasty with an "acute" Filatow graft, pocket skin plasty, free skin plasty with a splitted transplant were used for completely scalped fingers. In cases with incompletely scalped fingers the decompression of tissues was performed which prevented circulatory alterations. Long-term results within 1-12 years were studied. Indications for each method are analyzed.
