[Controlled opening of wounds with the apparatus of pin cutaneous fixation as a method of treatment in anaerobic infections of the lower limbs].
A method of postoperative treatment of the anaerobic infection of the lower extremity soft tissues is proposed which consists in the wide opening of the wounds with a simple device. Fixation of the extremity in the device is provided by the intracutaneously conducted and strained extension wires. Due to the effect of decompression of the tissues, gaping wounds and extension of the skin margins, there appear conditions for subsiding the inflammation, effective control, management of the wounds and closing of them by secondary sutures to form a linear cicatrix. The authors succeeded in shortening the time of preparing the wound for closure and obtaining better results.
