Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Fireworks are used for various reasons all round the globe. Firework injuries are common during the festival of Diwali in India and form the majority of trauma cases seen by plastic surgeons during that period.Pocket trouser burns is a common injury occurring in children. And bombs are the most common cause. Lack of supervision by parents, ill regulated legislature for selling of crackers and the inability of children to gauge the danger of playing with firecrackers may contribute to the increasing number of such cases seen today. We present an observational prospective study on the incidence of burns and trouser pocket burns presenting to a tertiary care center over a period of 3 years.
