AbstractThe authors describe a technique for the release of severe postburn contractures of the web spaces by using all the available tissues in the web space as local flaps to avoid using skin grafts or distant flaps. We rely on the central part of the web to raise the main triangular flaps that may be used to create a functional web space. We called it the V-N plasty.
