ABSTRACT
Hitherto a prolonged treatment and immobilization was necessary in case of bone and soft tissue infections of the hand. The result was frequently a poor function of the hand due to ankylosis. The infection period can be shortened by an early, carefully performed sequestrotomy with additional temporary implantation of gentamicin-PMMA minichains. The evaluation of 200 cases shows the good results of this therapy method.

Today, reconstructive surgery knows many different skin flaps for treating soft tissue defects. The advantages of Hoffmann's external anchorage are demonstrated by immobilizing skin flaps during their process of healing.
