title: [Rehabilitation of patients with upper extremities burns at the stage of skin restoration].
abstract: Results of surgical treatment of 479 patients with deep burns of the upper extremities on the area from 0.5 to 60% of body surface with the lesion of shoulder (398), elbow (407), radiocarpal (371) joints and hand (423) area. Early or delayed necrectomy (28.6%) with following skin grafting was performed at hospitalization of patients in early period. At IV-degree burns plastic reconstruction with skin-subcutaneous flaps was used: local (22), combined (16), pedicle flap and Filatov's graft (29), flaps with axial circulation (8) and on microsurgical anastomoses. Active surgical policy resulted in recovery of the function of the shoulder joints in 73.7%, elbow joints--in 75.15%, radiocarpal joints--in 83.4% and of hand in 50.2% cases.
