RESUMEN
317 patients with frostbitten limb injuries of various severity were healed. A differential treatment tactics were worked out, basing on localization, area, time of frost exposure and concurrent vascular disease. Surgical treatment of IV stage congelation stipulates early necrectomy by lower limbs affection, whereas, congelation of the upper limbs requires delayed necrectomy; both should be followed by appropriate wound healing and early reconstructive operations. Indications for primary amputations by deep congelation were formulated.
