Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Many patients continue to experience problems long after burn wounds have closed. Contracture and deformity are frequent sequelae of the scar tissue that is formed secondary to thermal trauma. A variety of techniques are available to the burn reconstructive surgeon, ranging from simpler grafting methods to complex free-tissue transfers. In this article, the clinical applications of these procedures are discussed, with examples of management techniques for selected problems commonly encountered by the reconstructive surgeon. |
