After a severe burn injury, the healing process may cause the skin to become tight or stiff. This condition is called a contracture. Contractures can limit movement of joints such as the neck, hands, elbows, knees, or other body parts. Release of contractures is a specialized reconstructive procedure that helps restore movement, improve function, and enhance quality of life. Professor Dr. Mohammad Nashir Uddin provides advanced surgical care for contracture correction using modern techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q1: What is a burn contracture?
A burn contracture happens when scar tissue tightens the skin and underlying tissues, restricting normal movement of a joint or body part.

Q2: Why is contracture release important?
If left untreated, contractures can worsen over time and cause difficulty in daily activities. Surgical release helps improve mobility and function.

Q3: How is contracture treated?
Treatment may include surgical release of the tight scar tissue, followed by skin grafting or reconstructive procedures to allow proper healing and movement.

Q4: Can movement return after surgery?
With proper surgery and post-operative care, including physiotherapy, many patients experience significant improvement in movement and flexibility.

Burn contracture release is an important procedure to restore mobility and prevent long-term disability after severe burns. With expert surgical planning and proper rehabilitation, patients can regain movement and improve their daily life activities.

If you or your loved one is experiencing tight skin, restricted movement, or difficulty due to old burn scars, please consult for professional evaluation. Early treatment can help achieve better functional recovery and long-term results.
