Reconstruction of the burned foot.
Burns of the feet pose unique and difficult problems in initial management, reconstruction, and the attainment of long-term functional results. The primary reconstructive goals for this region are unimpeded ambulation and weightbearing. These objectives can be achieved by adherence to established principles of wound management, a clear delineation of the reconstructive requirements of the foot, and a team approach toward attaining these goals.
