The rule of nines in relation to burns helps a doctor decide on whether a patient is to transferred to a burns unit and on what type of treatment to be administered

They divide the body into parts assigning numerical values of 9% to the larger parts of the Body

for example a leg front and back = 9% x 2, an arm = 4.5% x 2 etc

with lesser numbers being assigned to the palm 1% and groin 1%.

As an example, if both legs (18% x 2 = 36%), the groin (1%) and the front chest and stomach were burned, this would involve 55% of the body.
