Abstract
Aim: To emphasize on the burden of firecracker burst injuries during Diwali festival in a tertiary care center in India. Methods: It’s a retrospective study done during the period of Diwali 2018, which included all the patients who attended our emergency services with firecracker burst injuries. Results: 23 patients presented with varying types of injuries ranging from burns to eye injuries to hand injuries with simple lacerations, fractures to mutilated hands. Conclusion: Much larger epidemiological studies are essential to know the burden of injuries and the disability the patients develop and for strict enforcement to ban usage of fire crackers.
