Popis: On the experience of total replacement of fingers in 49 patients with posttraumatic hand deformities the main strategies for the improvement of outcome are detected: 1) successive restoration of damaged structures, including skin restoration, re-establishment of normal anatomical correlation of bone structures and total joint replacement; 2) perfection of the implant design; 3) application of precious technique. Use of such approach enabled to restore the motion volume in injured joints within the limits of 30-40 degrees as well as to widen the quota of patients for reconstructive surgical treatment at the account of patients with more severe pathology.
