Post Burn Injuries & Contractures

Post Burn Injuries & Contractures refer to long-term complications that develop after burn injuries, where healed skin becomes tight, thick, and inelastic, leading to restricted movement, deformity, pain, and functional disability. These contractures commonly affect the face, neck, hands, arms, legs, chest, and joints, significantly impacting daily activities and quality of life.

At Dr. Tanmayee Abhay Thite’s clinic in Bhopal, post-burn reconstruction is managed through advanced plastic and reconstructive surgical techniques, focusing on restoring function, mobility, appearance, and patient confidence.

Common Problems After Burn Injuries

• Tightening of skin over joints (contractures)
• Restricted movement of limbs or neck
• Facial deformities or asymmetry
• Hand stiffness and finger deformities
• Thick scars and keloid formation
• Difficulty in walking, eating, speaking, or performing daily tasks

Who Needs Post Burn Contracture Treatment?

• Patients with healed burns causing limited joint movement
• Children with growth-related post-burn deformities
• Individuals with facial, neck, hand, or limb contractures
• Patients experiencing pain, stiffness, or functional limitation after burns

Treatment Options

• Contracture Release Surgery: Surgical release of tightened skin and tissues
• Skin Grafting: Covering raw areas after release using healthy skin
• Local & Regional Flap Surgery: Reconstructing deeper defects with better flexibility
• Z-Plasty & Scar Revision Techniques: Improving skin length and mobility
• Laser Therapy: Improving scar texture, thickness, and pigmentation
• Physiotherapy & Splinting: Essential for long-term functional recovery

Advanced Reconstructive Approach

Each patient receives a customised treatment plan based on burn severity, location, age, and functional requirements. The goal is not only cosmetic improvement but also maximum restoration of movement and comfort.

Benefits of Post Burn Reconstruction

• Improved joint mobility and function
• Reduction in pain and stiffness
• Better cosmetic appearance of scars
• Enhanced confidence and independence
• Prevention of further deformities

Recovery & Rehabilitation

Recovery depends on the extent of surgery and individual healing capacity. Physiotherapy, scar care, splint usage, and regular follow-ups are critical for achieving long-term success and preventing recurrence of contractures.
