What is Post-Burn Contracture?
When a burn scar tightens and limits how you move, everyday tasks become a struggle. Dr. Vicky Jain releases post-burn contractures to give back movement and comfort — and, just as importantly, independence.
Post-burn contracture is a condition where the skin and underlying tissues tighten or shrink after a burn injury, causing limited movement in the affected area. It commonly affects joints like the neck, hand, elbow, armpit (axilla), and knee, making it hard to perform daily activities like walking, lifting the arm, or even turning the head.
Why Consider Post-Burn Contracture Treatment?
- To improve the appearance of tight, scarred, or deformed skin.
- To release tight skin that restricts joint movement.
- To restore full range of motion and improve daily activities.
- To prevent long-term complications like stiffness and weakness.
- To reduce skin breakdown in areas of tension or friction.
Dr. Jain’s Approach
Dr. Vicky Jain's approach to post-burn contracture is centered on restoring movement and appearance with least possible trauma. Depending on severity, he may use Z-plasty, skin grafting, or local/regional flaps, followed by physiotherapy, splinting, and scar care.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery after post-burn contracture surgery typically happens in phases. Initial wound healing usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks. Full functional recovery, especially for joint-involved areas, can take 3 to 6 months with physiotherapy, splinting, and scar management.
