Abstract: With the development of modern society, the range of disease spectrum is changing, and risk factors leading to human trauma and damage are also in the shift. In addition to the extraordinary burns in the traditional sense, we also call extraordinary injury as damage induced by some of extraordinary insults in the past. In recent years, damage to skin and soft tissue caused by an extraordinary injury showed a gradually increasing trend. Manifestations of the wound of an extraordinary injury are various and its clinical treatment is very difficult, often requiring exceptional systemic comprehensive treatments. Currently, it is the duty of colleagues in the burn unit to actively deliberate about their realities regarding the following aspects: to accurately define the concept and scope of extraordinary injury, to include it into the range of clinical research and treatment of burns, to fully use professional skills of burn surgeons in dealing with wounds, and to effectively treat the patients through learning and mastering treatment skills of other clinical disciplines for treatment of extraordinary injury.
