[Burns combined with mechanical trauma]

On the basis of several years' material the mechanical lesions combined with burns are analysed by the authors and the diagnostical and therapeutical problems are dealt with. On the basis of their experiences it is pointed out that in the case of primary surgical management the reciprocal aggravating effect does not develop. Even in second-degree burned area primary healing of the suture following the wound excision has been observed. Extension treatment of the fracture is but rarely successful, the ideal method is the stable osteosynthesis.
