    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Surgery
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Local frostbite injuries present complex challenges in etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestation.
    • Understanding these aspects is crucial for effective patient management and treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of local frostbite injuries.
    • To discuss therapeutic approaches for local frostbite, comparing surgical and conservative treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review to synthesize existing knowledge on frostbite.
    • Analysis of clinical experiences from 49 patients treated at the University-Hospital of Innsbruck (1966-1973).

    Main Results:

    • The study details the various factors contributing to frostbite and its physiological effects.
    • Surgical intervention targeting the sympathetic nervous system demonstrated advantages over conservative management in the studied patient cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of local frostbite requires a thorough understanding of its underlying mechanisms.
    • Surgical sympathectomy offers a potentially more advantageous therapeutic option for local frostbite compared to traditional conservative treatments.
