Methods: Ninety patients with deep partial-thickness hands burn wound were treated with tangential excision, 82 patients were treated with eschar grinding and 89 patients were treated with topical sulfadiazine silver cream after debridement. Results: The healing time of wound in the patients treated with tangential excision, with eschar grinding and with topical sulfadiazine silver cream after debridement was 14.1 days, 13.5 days and 26.2 days respectively and the cure rates were 97.8%, 100% and 84.27%, respectively.
