Zusammenfassung

Eine funktionierende Handmotorik ist im täglichen Leben und in der Arbeitswelt unverzichtbar. Selbst kleinere Verbrennungen können selbige entweder direkt oder durch Narbenbildung wesentlich einschränken. Erhalt und Wiederherstellung der Handfunktion sind essenziell für das körperliche und seelische Wohlbefinden von Verbrennungspatienten, zumal eine Einschränkung zu sozialer Isolation und Berufsunfähigkeit führen kann. Obwohl eine Hand nur 3 % der gesamten Körperoberfläche repräsentiert, werden Handverbrennungen als schwere Verbrennung eingestuft und zählen zu den primären Indikationen zur Behandlung in einem Verbrennungszentrum. Bei mehr als 80 % aller schweren Verbrennungen sind die Hände beteiligt und zählen somit zu den am häufigsten betroffenen Körperregionen. Unabhängig von der Schwere der gesamten Verbrennung ist den Händen höchste Priorität beizumessen.

Weiterentwicklungen in der Akut- und Langzeitbehandlung von Brandverletzungen der Hand sollten zum Ziel haben, eine langfristige Verbesserung der funktionellen und ästhetischen Ergebnisse zu erlangen. Zudem soll auch bei schwerer Handverbrennung die Wiedereingliederung in Alltag und Berufsleben angestrebt werden. Der Zweck dieser Übersichtsarbeit ist es, die aktuelle Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Handverbrennung aufzuzeigen und Teilbereiche zu identifizieren, in denen in Zukunft intensivere Forschung betrieben werden sollte. Wir fassen in dieser Arbeit relevante Original- und Übersichtsarbeiten der letzten Jahre auf dem Gebiet der Handverbrennung zusammen. Neuheiten zu Akutbehandlung, Nachbehandlung, Rekonstruktion, der Verletzung durch E-Zigaretten sowie zur Funktionsbeurteilung werden vorgestellt und in Kontext zu bewährten Methoden gestellt. Die Problematik mangelnder Forschungsprojekte und potenzielle Forschungsideen werden aufgezeigt.

Abstract

Hand function is crucial for everyday and professional life. Even small burns can have a great impact on hand function, either from the injury itself or from scar contractions. Preservation and restoration of hand function are essential for mental and physical well-being of burn survivors. Reduced hand function can lead to social isolation and occupational invalidity. Even though one hand represents only 3 % of the total body surface area, hand burns are categorized as severe burn injuries and are a primary indication for treatment in a dedicated burn center. Hands are involved in more than 80 % of all severe burn injuries, making them the most affected body part. Independent of the severity of the overall burn, hand injuries need to be treated with highest priority.

Novel approaches in acute and long-term care of burned hands should aim for long-term improvement in functional and aesthetic outcomes. All burn patients with hand involvement should be able to be reintegrated into society, perform activities of everyday life and return to their profession. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent advancements in research of the burned hand and to identify areas in which further research is needed. We summarized all relevant and recent original and review articles on hand burns; including acute treatment, aftercare, reconstruction, injuries due to E-cigarettes and methods for assessment of hand function. These findings were put into context of established methods in order to provide an outlook on possible future innovations.
