Abstract

Hand is essential for execution of activities of daily living. Incidence of hand burn is as high as 70 to 80% in patient with severe burns. This is a clinical study conducted at tertiary care center in Telangana between Jan 2021 to Jan 2023.


All cases except 2 showed good hand function like grip, grasp and key pinch and maintained good architecture first web space, MPJ flexion, cupping of hand.


This study concludes that setting standard protocol of treatment for hand burns from day 1 and Early tangential excision & SSG of deep dermal burns of dorsum of hand gives good structural outcomes like adequate first web space, MPJ flexion, cupping of hand and functional outcomes like power grip, tripod grasp and pinch. Early tangential excision and SSG is best treatment for burns of dorsum of hand.
