Summary:Early necrectomy followed by skin plasty allows preserving impaired parts of the hand and working capacity of the patients in posttraumatic necrosis of soft tissues of the hand and fingers. The method of skin plasty and time of its fulfilling should be dependent on the character of injuries, their localisation and degree of necrosis. In the absence of wound infection skin plasty must be fulfilled immediately after necrectomy. In necrosis accompanied by suppuration skin plasty is indicated after preparing the wound surface with vacuum and ultrasonic treatment, controlled abacterial environment. Positive results of reestablishing working capacity were obtained in 88.6% of the patients examined in remote periods after treatment.
