Abstract
In this case report, we describe the treatment of burns in a physically disabled individual with a history of bilateral lower-leg amputation due to diabetic foot gangrene. To the best of our knowledge, there have been very few detailed reports of burns in physically disabled individuals. As a result, we felt it necessary to report this at the academic level, to promote collaboration with the respective authorities, and encourage further data gathering and research.
Initial examination at our hospital revealed > 20% burns with mixed second-degree and third-degree burns on the head, face, neck, bilateral upper limbs, back, and right thigh.
