Popis: The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effect of using artificial dermis matrix plus autologous split-thickness skin (ADM and ASTS) in the treatment of deep-burns in hands of severely burned patients?We recruited a total of 58 patients with large area burns greater than 80% that were eschar-excised. Twenty-eight of them were treated with ADM and ASTS (test group); 30 were treated with autologous medium-thickness skin (AMTS) (control group). The healing time of the hand wound was noted, clinical and photographic evaluations were performed, and a Jebsen-Taylor hand function test was compared and analyzed in the two groups. The wound healing time in the test group (24.22?3.34 days) were longer than that of the control group (13.42?3.36 days) and statistically significant. The healing time of skin graft donor sites was shorter than that of the control group (7.14?1.63 vs. 14.28?2.37 days) and statistically significant (P
