This paper is a review of the hand injuries occurring in the Yorkshire Wool Industry and referred to the Regional Plastic Surgery Unit for skin replacement, or other treatment, during the years 1965-1984. A total of forty-one cases has been seen, and although the number employed in the industry has fallen about fivefold, the injuries referred yearly have remained approximately constant. An analysis of the types of injury has been made and the improvement in the results is shown with changes in the method of acute treatment. The case for early referral, active initial treatment and early mobilisation is very obvious from the results.
本文回顾了1965年至1984年间发生在约克郡羊毛工业中的手部损伤病例，这些病例被转诊至地区整形外科单位进行皮肤置换或其他治疗。共诊治了41例病例，尽管该行业的就业人数下降了约五倍，但每年转诊的损伤病例数基本保持不变。本文对损伤类型进行了分析，并展示了随着急性治疗方法的改变，治疗效果得到了改善。从结果来看，早期转诊、积极的初始治疗和早期活动的必要性非常明显。
