Burns to the hand can cause anatomical and functional limitations due to burn sequelae and treatment obstacles that arise during the rehabilitation process. A questionnaire consisting of four open-ended questions was distributed at the 1993 American Burn Association Breakfast Session, "Rehabilitation of the Burned Hand." The questionnaire was designed to gather information regarding common postburn deformities and treatment obstacles that occur in the acute and postacute phase of burn rehabilitation. Information was collected from 38 respondents and frequency distributions were compiled. The deformities and treatment obstacles are discussed in relation to the current literature and clinical management of hand burns.
