An experience with the treatment of 158 patients with open lesions of hands and fingers under conditions of traumatological unit is described. The authors recommend such operations of skin plasty as plasty by means of translocation of local tissues including insular triangle flaps on a vascular pedicle, free skin plasty, plasty on a temporary feeding pedicle from neighbour finger or hand, plasty after Krasovitov, replantation of not completely torn terminal finger phalanges. Skin plasty operations resulted in shorter terms of treatment and better functional and cosmetic results.
