The infection and inflammation can liquify cartilage, leading to significant aesthetic deformities which are difficult to treat. This article reviews published measures for preventing post-burn chondritis. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A comprehensive search of all available literature up to September 2020 was performed, according to PRISMA guidelines, for studies assessing preventive measures for post-burn chondritis. Randomised controlled trials (RCT), cohort studies, case\u2013control studies, case reports and series were eligible for inclusion <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A total of 10 studies, including one RCT and nine retrospective observational analyses, were included, incorporating 1369 patients with burns to the ear. The most common interventions were pressure avoidance (70%), daily cleansing (60%), topical mafenide acetate (60%) and targeted debridement (30%). Packages of measures which included pressure avoidance were the most effective, all of which achieved a chondritis incidence of &lt;6%. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Low-level but strong published evidence suggests that important treatment principles include prevention by pressure relief, targeted debridement, prophylactic local antibiotics, local antisepsis and the avoidance of desiccation.
