abstract: Infectious complications of finger-joints in association with hand burns are common and dominated by osteoarthritis. However, this issue has hardly ever been addressed in the literature. This ailment can either be identified while patients with extensive burns are undergoing intensive care, or during patient rehabilitation. In the former instance, it is difficult to recognize because patient sedation means the clinical signs are not obvious. In the latter phase, however, the pain, swelling (tumefaction), stiffness and radiological signs are clear. These infections should be diagnosed as soon as possible in order to preserve the function of the hand.
