Post Burn Contractures
Post-burn contractures are a common complication that occurs when burned skin heals and tightens, causing restriction of movement in the affected area. These contractures can lead to functional impairments and significant discomfort. Treatment for post-burn contractures focuses on releasing the tightened skin and restoring mobility. Non-surgical interventions such as physical therapy, splinting, and scar management techniques may be employed to improve flexibility and minimize further contracture progression. In more severe cases, surgical procedures such as skin grafts or tissue expansion may be necessary to release the contractures and restore proper movement. Early intervention and a multidisciplinary approach involving plastic surgeons, physical therapists, and occupational therapists play a crucial role in achieving optimal outcomes for patients with post-burn contractures.
