Hands are most frequently involved in severe burns. The treatment of the burned hand is one of the most challenging problems in plastic surgery. The success of therapy is determined by the severity of the initial injury, the first aid provided, and the correct balance between mobilization, splinting and plastic surgery. In this respect, it is vital to have a highly qualified interdisciplinary team approach consisting of plastic surgeons, well-trained physical therapists, psychologists and a highly motivated patient.
