title: [Sequela of hand burns in children: 32 cases followed and treated in the Plastic Surgery and Reconstruction department of the University Hospital Center of Treichville, Abidjan].
abstract: An investigation on the effects of hand burns has been undertaken about 32 children admitted in the plastic surgery outpatients Department. Accident occurs among the lower class population and heat is the major factor pointed out. The most frequent effects are hand palmar contracture. The surgical treatment completed with the functional re-education has given very good results in 79% cases. However the cheloid contractures are the most difficult to cure. Indeed the authors insist or the prevention and the creation of a center of burned patients and a plastic surgery Service to take care of patients whose life prognostic is optimistic.
