Abstract:
A new method of surgical treatment of postburn boutonniere deformity was used in 124 fingers of 66 patients. This method includes reconstruction of the lateral band's position of an extensor apparatus and anatomic continuity of a central band. Before tendon plasty, passive movements in a proximal interphalangeal joint are restored and contracture of others joints is released. If the soft tissue of the digital back is affected, tendon grafts are covered with a groin pedicled flap. With this method we could restore active movements in the proximal interphalangeal joint in 89.2 percent of the patients and avoid fusion or amputation. The failures were connected with serious intrajoint changes.

The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
