title: Burns to the hand.
abstract: Hands are a common area for burns to occur. Small, superficial burns may need little medical care whereas larger, deeper burns require the services of a specialised burn team and a variety of reconstructive plastic surgical techniques to avoid long-term stiffness and minimise functional loss.
