Abstract
Debridement and application of graft form the surgical basis of the operative therapy in the full thickness burn injury of the upper extremity [1,2]. Postoperative physical therapy and application of appropriate splints minimize the deformities and therefore the need for reconstructive interventions [3]. Burn contractures, in cases where the early surgical treatment cannot be established, lead to both social and functional disabilities. Many problems may be encountered in the treatment of burn contractures in the upper extremity. A vast number of therapeutic approaches like skin grafts, local and distant flaps have been defined in the treatment of upper extremity and axillary burn contractures [4,5]. But burn sequelae where the arm and the thorax show a total synechiae and their surgical therapy has not been mentioned in the literature.
