title: [Finger tip injuries. A comparative study of silver sulfadiazine and fucidin gauze].
abstract: Eighty-eight superficial finger-tip lesions were randomized after thorough cleaning to either silver sulphadiazine treatment of Fucidin fusidic acid gauze. In the silver sulphadiazine group the wounds were covered with a non-sterile PVC gloce and redressed at least every third day; in the other group Fucidin gauze was applied and a tubigauze dressing was left in situ for ten days, after which a new dressing was applied. All patients were treated until healed and followed for at least six months after injury. Patients in the silver sulphadiazine group required shorter time for healing and shorter sick leave. The treatment is recommended because of the easy procedure and the good results.
