[Tendon alloplasty in hand deformities after burns]

The author's experience shows that in a number of patients with deformities of the hand following burns alloplasty can provide a considerable improvement, and even sometimes a complete recovery of functions including damages of nerve trunks, with disturbed innervation of muscles and sensitivity of the hand. He believes that the alloplasty should be performed under the restored normal skin and be often combined with other restorative-reconstructive surgery.
