Friction burns: epidemiology and prevention.

It is suggested that most friction burn injuries are neglected on admission and can be prevented by the wearing of protective clothing, a helmet, and shoes while riding a motorcycle.

Road traffic accidents were the commonest cause of friction burns (56 patients), and the lower limb was the most frequently affected part of the body. Patient management was performed according to the degree of the burn injury. It is suggested that most friction burn injuries are neglected on admission. They require proper care and can be prevented by the wearing of protective clothing, a helmet, and shoes while riding a motorcycle.
