    AbstractMany 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.

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.
