Abstract:
Bony panaritium was treated in 48 children from 1 to 15 years of age by a new method consisting in the early and careful removal of the purulent-necrotic substrate and making the continuous suture. The most rational access to the injured phalanx (oval and semioval incisions) were found. Local regional forms of anesthesia (conduction and intraosseous anesthesia) and general anesthesia were used. The analysis of remote results has shown the children treated by this methods to be able to work, play and perform fine and exact manipulations.
