Abstract

A major burn is a severe injury with a global impact. Our system of medical evacuation has led to the survival of many severely injured service members. Burn rehabilitation is a complex and dynamic process and will not be linear. Recovery requires a comprehensive, interdisciplinary team-based approach, individually designed to maximize function, minimize disability, promote self-acceptance, and facilitate survivor and family reintegration into the community.
