- Abstract:
- Background: Hand burns are involved in 80–90% of severe burn injuries. Even though hands correspond to a small total burn surface area of less than 5%, the loss of their functionality has a significant impact on the patient’s life. Studies that provide long-term results regarding hand functionality after hand burns are scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate functional long-term results in a patient-centric approach regarding burn depth, unilateral and bilateral hand involvement, and (non-)isolated hand burns as potential influencing factors in patients with hand burns.
