title: Late review of the use of silver sulphadiazine dressings for the treatment of fingertip injuries.
abstract: The management of finger tip injuries is controversial. We sent out to review the long term outcome on conservative treatment with Silver Sulphadiazine dressings. 21 patients were reviewed at between 2 and 8 years after injury. All patients were satisfied with the treatment and the cosmetic results were good. We recommend this method of treatment.
