Abstract
Burn contractures are common after deep burns of the limbs. When rehabilitation fails to restore joint function and normal range of motion, surgical contracture release should be performed. Different plastic surgery techniques can be used, from Z-plasty to skin grafts, artificial dermis and flaps. Surgery can also be used in case of esthetic concerns. Available surgical techniques and indications are presented.
