title: Burns of the lower extremity: surgical and nonsurgical considerations and treatment.
abstract: The treatment of burns is most often provided through the emergency room or burn center units. Nevertheless, the podiatric physician may be called upon to treat or advise others when a burn to the lower extremity is involved. This article presents a review of burn wound care with surgical and nonsurgical considerations in an attempt to identify current therapeutic management.
