title: [Is early excision-graft justified in hand burns in children? Report of 201 cases].
abstract: The authors wish to show the difference between hand burns in children and adults. Throughout a group of 201 observations, they confirm the predominance in children of hands burns on palmar face. For them, the directed cicatrization by fat dressing associated with splints set in position of maximum cutaneous stretching is the first therapeutic. The early tangential excision and grafting is suitable only in rare indications, for instance in electric burns.
