Abstract

Due to social and demographic changes as well as new leisure activities, the number of frostbite injuries in the general population is on the increase. Because the injuries are primarily located on the hands and feet the consequences for those concerned are devastating. We provide help in grading and introduce concrete therapeutic regimes for frostbite which are illustrated by three case reports from our clinical experience with varying risk profiles.
