Surgical treatment
Contractures are formed across the joints either due to burn injuries or due to traumatic injuries. Contractures occur when the burn scar matures, thickens and tightens. This can prevent movement.it usually occurs when a burn occurs over a joint. Visit for >skin surgery in Ongole at best skin clinic from Dermatology doctor, Dr. Suneel Kishore.
contractures produce restrictions in motion and unacceptable aesthetic results, frequently with persistent wounds. Proper planning and tissue selection are essential to minimize donor site morbidity optimizing outcomes. The principle of burn reconstructive surgery requires that the defects after release should be replaced with donor tissues which have matching texture and color as well as enough pliability. Autologous skin grafting or flap surgeries meet these criteria to replace scar tissues and resurface the subsequent to post-released scar defects. post-operative physiotherapy is required to make the joints supple. Contracture release surgeries should be done as early as possible to avoid bony fusion.
