Von der Erstversorgung bis zur Plastischen Chirurgie - Spezielle Behandlungsaspekte bei Verbrennungen der Hand

Zusammenfassung 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 surgical procedures. In this respect, it is vital to have a highly qualified interdisziplinary team approach consisting of plastic surgeons, well-trained physical therapists, psychologists and a highly motivated patient.
