Functional and aesthetic results of treatment of thermal injury.
The authors report the results of treatment and a one year follow-up study of 1000 burned patients (1982-1986). Of 482 patients with superficial and deep dermal burns 246 patients had been operated (135 of 168 patients with deep burns). Impairment of function has been observed in 52 and complete disability in 7 cases. The authors suggest planned collecting of data on the remaining complications following thermal injury.
