TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Thermal burn injury from a wedding ring: an unusual case JO - Journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists A1 - Andrade, Peter A1 - Kaura, Arminder S. A1 - Bryant, Justin R. A1 - Burke, Edward SP - 32 EP - 34 VL - 9 IS - 1-3 N2 - Thermal ring injuries are rarely reported in the literature. For this reason, treatment is varied without a standard approach. We describe a case of a thermal wedding ring injury sustained during a welding accident. It is critical to understand the 3 zones of burn injuries when managing these infrequent cases. Furthermore, the dynamic progression that ensues a thermal burn will directly affect outcome. A case is presented along with a graduated approach to the management of such injuries.
