  • Title: An algorithm for the release of burn contractures of the extremities.
    Author: Hudson DA, Renshaw A.
    Journal: Burns; 2006 Sep; 32(6):663-8. PubMed ID: 16905261.
    Abstract:
    Burn contractures of the extremities present a clinical challenge. Flexion contractures are more common than extension contractures. The first component of treatment is adequate contracture release. A number of different methods are available for resurfacing the wound and these are reviewed. An algorithm is presented which permits a simple approach to managing burn scar contracture of the extremities.
