• 1 other identifier: ANaseem
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 60
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

the purpose of this study is to compare the gain in length after postburn contracture release using two different techniques, the more commonly practised z - plasty and relatively newer technique, square flap

Conditions

Burn Scar

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• gain in length

  calculation of the gain in length achieved after the release of post burn contrature

  3 weeks

Study Arms (2)

z-plasty

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Z-plasty: It will be defined as a local transposition flap that will be used to improve the functional and cosmetic appearance of scars. It will be involved creating two triangular flaps of equal dimensions that will be transposed.

Procedure: z-plasty

square flap

EXPERIMENTAL

Square flap: It will be defined as is another local transposition flap which will be used for release of contractures. Square will be marked on one side of the contracture, and two triangles will be marked on the other side, with the length of all the flaps equal, which will be then transposed.

Procedure: square flap
