Childhood burns leading to skeletal and soft tissue deformities: A case report

Abstract

Postburn contracture is an undesirable sequel of burn injury which affects patients in many ways. A secondary deformity of the growing skeleton in case of pediatric burn patients is a challenging problem to reconstructive surgeons, and careful planning and staged correction is required for such patients. Here we discuss a case of burn injury sustained in childhood and its consequent deformities and their management.
