  • Title: Pressure therapy in treatment of hypertrophic scar, burn contracture and keloid: the Kenyan experience.
    Author: Haq MA, Haq A.
    Journal: East Afr Med J; 1990 Nov; 67(11):785-93. PubMed ID: 2076679.
    Abstract:
    A preliminary report of the results of pressure therapy for hypertrophic scar, burn contracture and keloid is presented. Thirty four patients over a four year period were treated with four types of pressure therapy. Results showed over 50% improvement in 21 (61.8%) cases. This method obviated the need for repetitive surgery and no recurrence was noted. Pressure therapy is advocated as an adjunct measure for all cases of hypertrophic scarring, burn contracture and keloid.
