  • Title: Burn reconstruction: the problems, the techniques, and the applications.
    Author: Wainwright DJ.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 2009 Oct; 36(4):687-700. PubMed ID: 19793562.
    Abstract:
    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.
