  • Title: Burn scar contractures of the pediatric neck.
    Author: Grevious MA, Paulius K, Gottlieb LJ.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2008 Jul; 19(4):1010-5. PubMed ID: 18650723.
    Abstract:
    Neck deformities remain a cause of significant morbidity in children who sustain burns. Reconstructive efforts must be directed not only at restoring satisfactory head position, flexion/extension, and rotation but also at satisfying the cosmetic and functional needs of the individual patient. We present the management of these complex patients, from the acute management of neck burns to the various reconstructive options available.
