AbstractMajor joint movement is frequently limited following full-thickness burns of the extremities due to scar contractures. After operative correction of the contractures physical therapy is absolutely necessary. Skin contractures are treated with Z-plasty, skin graft, local flaps, pedicled flaps and free tissue transfer. The advantages and disadvantages of those procedures are described.
