    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Burn management
    • Regenerative medicine

    Background:

    • Hand burns require specialized treatment to prevent deformity and ensure functional recovery.
    • Individualized care based on burn depth is crucial for effective management.
    • Established protocols can optimize outcomes for various degrees of hand burns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a structured treatment program for burned hands.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of individualized treatment for superficial and deep hand burns.
    • To assess the program's success in preventing deformity and promoting healing.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed and applied a planned treatment program to 72 cases of dorsal hand burns.
    • Differentiated treatment based on burn depth: conservative for superficial, excision and grafting for deep burns.

  • Implemented topical antibiotic care, elevation, early mobilization, and splinting in the antideformity position for all patients.

    • Main Results:

    • 94% of superficial (second-degree) burns avoided unnecessary surgery.
    • 100% of deep (third-degree) burns required excision and autografting.
    • The program successfully prevented deformity and protected regenerating epithelium.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed treatment program is effective for managing burned hands.
    • Individualized care based on burn depth is essential for optimal results.
    • Early motion and proper splinting are key to preventing hand deformities after burns.
