Abstract
Ultrasound scanning was used to measure the thickness of hypertrophic scars following burn injury. Scarred areas on patients receiving pressure therapy were monitored at regular intervals from the initial healing, through the hypertrophic stage, to maturation of the scars. The data, collected over a period of 30 months, allowed a comparison of scar development in children and adults and a comparison of the response at different anatomical sites. Measurements made on individual patients could be related to factors affecting the progress of their hypertrophic areas and provided a useful backup to visual assessment during pressure garment therapy.
