Ring burns are often circumferential, increasing the chance of compartment
syndrome and ischemia distal to the injury site. The burn size is usually small.
However, sometimes injury management may be difficult or threaten the limb,
leading to amputation. Different effective treatment methods include
conservative therapy, grafting, flap surgery, or amputation. This study reports
the therapeutic management of two patients with ring burn Injury. Two
patients with ring burn injuries who were admitted to the burn ward were
treated with initial surgical debridement and full-thickness skin grafts. At the
same time, one of them underwent the advancement flap technique by
adjacent tissue recruitment. Even though patients waited up to 3 weeks
before the operation, they underwent Surgery immediately after admission,
and the long-term result was excellent, and acceptable. So, training of medical
staff and efforts to prevent ring burn injury is highly recommended
