Overview

Retrospective analysis evaluates surgical strategies to improve hand function in postburn patients, suggesting benefits for both children and adults.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate surgical reconstruction strategies for severe postburn upper extremity contractures, focusing on functional stability.
  • Retrospective analysis of 22 pediatric and adult patients from January 2021 to September 2025
  • Assessment based on preoperative and postoperative photographs, video recordings, and radiologic images
  • Evaluation of outcomes using a 5-point Likert scale for satisfaction and functional assessment.
  • Satisfaction scores improved significantly, indicating enhanced functional stability and hand use
  • More than one hundred surgical procedures were performed, addressing various anatomical components
  • Functional recovery was limited in some long-standing cases, but overall hand utility and satisfaction improved substantially.
