%X background: this article describes the sequelae of burn injuries on the feet and surgical techniques for their treatment. this paper aims to help doctors treating burn injuries by establishing parameters of normality to be sought and effective surgical techniques for treatment. methods: the sequelae of burn injuries on the feet were classified into 3 groups on the basis of the degree of burns and the extent of involvement of the foot's anatomic structures. suggested surgical approaches for each group are provided. three patients with different deforming lesions treated surgically illustrate this classification. results: improvement in function was evident after using the surgical techniques in all analyzed patients. conclusions: there are several technical options for treating sequelae of burn injuries on the feet. the plastic surgeon must perform his/her role to assist these patients and treat these lesions. the treatment of these patients starts in the acute stage of the burn injury, during which it is necessary to prepare the area for future procedures. restoring functionality must be the goal of the surgery, especially in growing children.
