AB  - Burn injuries rank among the most severe forms of trauma, posing a significant global public health challenge due to
their high morbidity and mortality, even within specialised burn care facilities. Effective treatment for severe burns
necessitates comprehensive critical care and early identification of complications, which can improve patient survival
and functionality. A comprehensive set of criteria has been established for admitting burn patients to specialised burn
centres, ensuring that those with extensive, complex, or specific types of burns receive appropriate multidisciplinary
care. Burns involving major joints are particularly challenging due to risks of scarring, contractures and functional
limitations that demand adequate surgical treatment and rigorous rehabilitative care. This one-year retrospective study
analysed burn injuries to major joints in adult patients admitted to the Burn Unit at Clinical Emergency Hospital
Bucharest in 2023. Inclusion criteria were the burns affecting the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee or ankle. Collected
data included demographics, injury details and outcomes. Therapeutic management was also assessed, focusing on
systemic support and treatment of complications, wound dressings and surgical treatment. Findings will aid in
understanding the pathophysiology, etiology, and therapeutic strategies for burns involving major joints, emphasising the
importance of early, targeted interventions to improve recovery and patient quality of life.
