title: [Functional recovery of tendons and nerves after early repair of electric burns of the extremities using cutaneous and myocutaneous flaps].
abstract: A new operative treatment for the early repair of electric burn injuries by using cutaneous or myocutaneous flaps are recommended. The functional results of the burnt tendons and nerves were followed up. 174 operations among 134 cases were performed from 1964 to 1984, amputation rate were decreased to 9.7%. The percentage of functional recovery of the burnt tendons at wrist canal are 97.6% and which of the 21 burnt peripheral nerves are 80.9%.
