ABSTRACT
Basing on clinical material--216 injured persons with the hand burns--the method of distant detection of the hand affection area was elaborated. On the skitz (with contours of the hand palm and back surfaces, divided by orientirs on anatomic-functional regions with determined indices of every region area toward general area of the hand) the contours of the hand burn affection were lined, total area of the segments affected calculated, permitting to determine the relative area of affection of the hand external cover in presence of superficial and deep burns and their general area. While clinical trial, there was noted, that the method secures simple, precise and painless detection of the hand affection area, do not demand material-technical resources and essential expanses of time, is simply repeated and may be applied in surgical practice for optimization of treatment of the hand burn trauma.
