Thermal injuries to the foot

Abstract

Thermal injuries to the foot, in particular isolated burns, are less common than burn injuries to other body parts such as the face or the hand. One reason for this low number of injuries is due to the fact that most of the time our feet are protected by shoes. Despite the foot’s relatively small percentage of the total body surface area (TBSA) of approximately 3.5 %, special attention should be paid on foot burns because the sequelae of these injuries can dramatically reduce the patients’ quality of life [1]. The significance of foot injuries becomes obvious when we consider how much of our daily-life depends on the main function of our feet, i. e. to statically and dynamically carry body-weight. The long-term impairments of thermal foot injuries can include anything from problems with shoe fit to recurrent ulcerations, and from gait disturbances to inability of standing and walking.
