The significan difference in results of these two methods is not revealed: good and satisfactory results in distraction are obtained in 48% of patients, in traditional method in 41% of the patients. However the distractional method provides skin reserves decreasing the volume of free epidermatoplasty. The causes of syndactylia relapse in remote terms are revealed.

On the basis of the study of the results of distractional stretching of peripheric nerves, and as well as their comparison with the results of the treatment using plaster bars, a number of advantages of the apparatus method is revealed in replacing nerves defects. These advantages allow to improve significantly the results of the treatment of patients concerning the recovery of sensory and motor functions of the injuried peripheric nerve.
