The 3-6 week waiting period often necessary to determine the severity of the lesion. This period is also a critical time for the rescue of frostbitten tissue. This was a 30-year-old man who developed frostbite of his right index finger. He presented to our hospital 4 hours after injury with loss of sensation on the whole index finger and early signs of necrosis. The patient received a series of comprehensive treatments, including fasciotomy, injection of papaverine hydrochloride, baking lamp irradiation, negative pressure treatment, and so on. At the time of discharge, he had re-epithelialization of the index finger by 21 days after injury.
