Wound Healing and Therapy in Soft Tissue Defects of the Hand and Foot from a Surgical Point of View
Wounds and tissue defects of the hand and foot often lead to severe functional impairment of the affected extremity. Next to general principles of wound healing, special functional and anatomic considerations must be taken into account in the treatment of wounds in these anatomical regions to achiev...

description | Wounds and tissue defects of the hand and foot often lead to severe functional impairment of the affected extremity. Next to general principles of wound healing, special functional and anatomic considerations must be taken into account in the treatment of wounds in these anatomical regions to achieve a satisfactory reconstructive result. In this article, we outline the concept of wound healing and focus on the special aspects to be considered in wounds of the hand and foot. An overview of different treatment and dressing techniques is given with special emphasis on the reconstruction of damaged structures by plastic surgical means. |
