Nitric acid full thickness hand burn, delay excision and skin grafting

ABSTRACT

Nitric acid hand burn is rarely described in the literatures, there is no standard policy for management of this injury, and difficulties in assessing the depth of the burned area in the early stages of the disease makes primary excision and skin grafting delayed. The risk of stiff ness of the hand as a result of delay Eschar excision was managed by using krishner wire fixation of the metacarpophalangeal joint in functional position after Eschar excision
