TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Frostbite at the gym: a case report of an ice pack burn JO - British journal of sports medicine A1 - O'Toole, G. A1 - Rayatt, S. SP - 278 EP - 279 VL - 33 IS - 4 N2 - The case is reported of a 59 year old woman who suffered a 1% total body surface area superficial partial thickness burn to her calf following the application of an ice pack. The cause, resulting injury, and subsequent management are discussed. It is possible that such injuries are common, but no similar reports were found in a literature search. Awareness of the risk of this type of injury is important for all those entrusted with advising patients on the treatment of minor soft tissue injuries.
