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
