Burns: early shaving and immediate skin-grafting of dorsum of the hand. 1979

B C Sharma, and L Wosornu

Fourteen men with deep dermal burns of the dorsum of the hand treated by early excision and primary skin grafting are presented. Satisfactory functional and cosmetic results within two to three weeks were obtained in ten patients and in five to six weeks in the remaining four. Three patients who refused surgery developed contractures. The procedure is recommended as a routine.
