Abstract
The use of fluorescein as an aid to the differentiation of viable from nonviable tissue facilitates early tangential excision of hand burns. This technique, applied as part of an overall treatment program that includes immediate autografting with unexpanded meshed grafts and early mobilization, has resulted in excellent functional recovery from a potentially devastating injury.Keywords
