On the basis of the experimental study, 48 cases of finger injuries were treated with 2% silver sulphadiazine. The largest surface area of the wound was 5cm×2.5cm and the smallest being 0.3cm×0.3cm. The patients were follwed up for an average of 5.6 months. All of the wounds were completely healed under treatment without infection or necrosis. The wounds healed with a minimum of 7 days and amaximum of 25 days, with an average of 14.25 days. Experimental study and the clinical materials demonstrated the same results that silver sulphadiazine would redu
ce infection and inflammatory reaction, minimizing scar formation, and enhancement of granulation formation and epithelization. This method of treatment had theadvantages of being simple, low cost and early return to work.
