Abstract

The incidence of hand burns in children is high. In the overall cases of body burns, hand and wrist burns account for about 39%. They may constitute a part of a larger burn of the body, or an isolated injury of the hand and wrist. The choice between early and late escharectomy and skin covering is still a matter of debate. Two cases of deep burns of the hands are presented in this report. The report shows a new way to close the residual wounds of deep burns.
