Abstract

The complete care of burns to the foot can be complex or straightforward, depending on the nature of the burn. Appropriate care requires experience and training. The keys to good management of burns to the feet are understanding the pathophysiology of burns, appropriate acute management of the burns, and appropriate initial reconstruction guided by the long-term needs of the patient.
