AbstractHand involvement is common in patients with severe burns. Our experience indicates that almost one-third of the patients admitted to the Shriner's Burns Institute and The University of Texas Medical Branch Hospitals with burns exceeding 30 per cent of the body surface had concomitant burns of the hand. Our approach in managing the burned hand during the acute phase of unjury, as well as during secondary reconstruction of the deformities, is presented and discussed.
