This study aimed to develop and implement a universal method for the quantitative assessment of treatment effectiveness in patients with skin and underlying soft tissue defects of the trunk and extremities. The study involved 242 patients, including 46 patients with upper extremity injuries, 179 with lesions of lower extremity tissues, and 17 patients with defects of the integumentary tissues of the trunk. The greatest treatment effectiveness was observed in patients with upper limb injury: excellent result – 60.0%, good – 33.3%, unsatisfactory – 6.7% of patients. In the group of patients with lower extremity injuries, an excellent result was recorded in 19.6% of cases, good (58.1%), satisfactory (15.1%), and unsatisfactory in 7.2% of patients. In patients with trunk injuries, an excellent treatment result was obtained in 23.5%, good – 35.5%, satisfactory – 23.5%, and unsatisfactory – 17.6%. The universal quantitative method for evaluating treatment effectiveness in patients with various types of damage to the trunk and extremities tissues was proposed. This method makes it possible to objectively determine the level of medical service provided to each patient, which is of great importance in the context of medical service reorganization in the state.
