title: Horizons in burn care.
abstract: The renaissance of burn care began during World War II. From 1960 to the present there has been a rapid advance in burn medicine that has resulted from a better understanding of the emotional, physical, and physiologic problems occurring in the severely burned individual. Now, even the most severely burned have an excellent chance of returning to a functioning, useful place in society. We foresee continued improvements in the organization and delivery of burn care and the results therefrom.
