    AbstractThis study presents 3 cases of women ages ranged from 25 to 52 years with anterior cervical contractures caused by burns that resulted in functional and aesthetic deficit. Contracture release in 3 patients and reconstruction was done using a sub-fascial flap whose main pedicle was the supraclavicular artery and the occipito-postero-cervical vessels that were preserved. The flap was designed differently from the classically described that uses the skin of the shoulder but which presents differences of color and texture with relation to the skin of the neck. The results were satisfactory and no complications such as infections or necrosis.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI. All rights reserved.
